Tripoli, 9 June 2014:
What is said to be the largest wooden printing block in the Arabic world will be a . . .[restrict]highlight of an arts and media festival in Tripoli this week.
The printing block is more than six metres long, said Radwan Jalasi, a member of the organising committee of Arts and Media faculty at Tripoli University, which is staging the four-day Arts and Media fedtival, starting tomorrow. The extraordinary block will be shown off early Friday evening in Martyrs’ Square.
The main displays of music, drama and dance, alongside the art exhibition is in the Arts and media faculty itself on the Tripoli University campus. The university has given the show, which is free, its financial support.
“Many people have put in a lot of hours to ensure that this event is a success, including interior design students, members of the teaching staff and the Ministry of Culture,” said Jalasi.
“We are very hopeful that everything will go as planned and that there will be no security issues,” he added. [/restrict]
