Joumana Medlej is a renowned artist, author, and educator from Lebanon. Her distinct visual language, steeped in the historical, compositional, and order aspects of the Arabic alphabet, is drawn from the rich influence of early Islamic art.

In this episode of the Golden Pages podcast, Joumana shares intricate details about her latest masterpiece, the Book of Abjad, which explores the alphanumerical nature of the abjadiyah. Her artist books, such as the Book of the Moon, are more than just works of art - they are mystical journeys that evoke a sense of richness and mystery. Along with these, we also discuss her project, 'The Canticle of Creatures,' a reproduction of a 12th century Karmatian Quran.

This episode offers a fascinating perspective on Arabic calligraphy and artist books, we also look at the importance of an online presence for artists with insights into crowdfunding and Patreon.
