This spring Amman’s art scene is celebrating the iconic Italian symbol for freedom & imagination, the Vespa! Yes, the Vespa who would have thought?!

Jacaranda Images, in association with Darwazeh Motors the Official Vespa dealer in Jordan, has commissioned 4 of Amman’s brightest graphic designers to produce limited edition prints that will sit side by side with reproductions of some of Vespa’s classic advertising images. Work by Mo Awwad, Mike V Derderian, Lutfi Zayed and Ibraheem Alawamleh will be featured in the exhibition, showing how Vespa fits within the new Amman psyche.
