The Design
About Shany Abdallah Naji Siri Seni Grafik
Shany Abdallah Naji ialah satu siri karya grafik yang menghidupkan semula tradisi penamaan keluarga. Tradisi tersebut, yang berakhir apabila keluarga itu berpindah dari Iraq ke Israel, memberikan seorang bayi baru lahir satu nama pertama diikuti dengan nama bapa dan datuknya. Siri ini dicipta selepas dokumen imigresen keluarga lama ditemui. Lima karya media campuran, empat berukuran 50 kali 70 sentimeter dan satu berukuran 75 kali 70 sentimeter, menganyam imejan ke dalam kaligrafi Ibrani yang diilhamkan oleh manuskrip Ibrani dari Iraq, Yaman dan Maghribi yang dihasilkan antara abad ke-12 dan ke-15.

- Unique Properties
- Shany Abdalla Naji is a series of Graphic works attempting to revive the name giving tradition in the designer’s family.
This tradition that broke upon arriving to Israel from Iraq, consists of naming a new born and adding the names of his father and grandfather. Dvora learned all this recently after finding her family's immigration papers. This discovery left her excited thinking names can encompass within them the changes of tradition and culture and it made her question how her own name fits in her family’s ancestry - Dimensions & Packaging

- For ages, the Middle East has been a meeting point for eastern and western cultures. This region has seen empires rise and fall, ever changing borders and frequent migrations of people looking for a fresh start. But not only the people journeyed across the land, with them came their family history, their stories, ideas, ideals and traditions.
This is the story of Dvora’s grandmother - Juliette Abdallah Moshe.
Juliette immigrated to Israel from Iraq in 1951 with her husband and three young sons. Her birth given name, Juliette Abdallah Moshe, as were the names of her ancestors, consisted of her first name followed by the names of her father and grandfather. When she arrived in Israel her name was changed to “Juliette Dvora” as part of the process of integration. Thus, the tradition linking the children’s names to those of their ancestors was broken. Dvora learned all this only in recent years after finding her grandmother’s original immigration papers. This discovery left her very excited thinking that a name of a man can encompass within it the changes of tradition and culture as it consists of the names of the previous family generations. The excitement was followed by a few questions though. Why is Shany’s name so different from the traditional and deeply rooted names in her family’s ancestry? Where and how does her name fit in there?
In this project She seeks to revive the name giving tradition that still lived on in the time of her grandmother’s birth. She does so through imagery woven into Hebrew calligraphy inspired by 12th-15th century Hebrew manuscripts from Iraq, Yemen and Morocco - Inspiration
