Established in 2013 by Libyan artist and printmaker Mohammed Barka, the Libyan Printmakers has its headquarters in Tripoli. The main purpose of this cultural centre is to be a place where Libyan printmakers can share their artistic style, their experiences and their knowledge about the fine art of printmaking. Thus, through encouraging collaboration and experimentation among Libyan printmakers, the centre also wishes to become a source of inspiration for all Libyan artists, as well as to create artistic awareness among a greater audience. Occasionally, Barka’s cultural centre also organizes meetings and art workshops for all ages.
