Blyss Steps into 2026 with Exciting Projects and Collaborations!

We are starting a new year filled with creativity, collaboration, and impactful initiatives. With a lineup of innovative projects, international workshops, and community-driven storytelling, 2026 promises to be a year of growth and inspiration for Blyss and its global partners.

Highlights of the Year Ahead

  3. The Silent Book Project – A Global Collaboration
    Following the exciting and inspiring news of being selected as finalists for the Ocean Love Award, we felt  motivated to continue pursuing this vision. While we did not receive the funding, our passion for this idea remains unwavering. We are committed to refining and re-launching it with renewed energy and focus. The dream of creating a silent book has always been close to our hearts, and now it is becoming a reality for our communities in Tanzania and Sinai. This project will unite diverse voices and perspectives, weaving them into a powerful and meaningful visual narrative.

    The silent book will be brought to life with the help of our talented illustrator from Japan, Sanpo, and the wonderful Sarah Mohamed, from Sinai and UAE, who will serve as the design coordinator for the entire project.

    About Sarah Mohamed:
    Sarah is a creative soul with a passion for visual storytelling across various mediums, including illustration, animation, motion graphics, and video editing. Her love for art began in childhood, with illustrations and drawings holding a special place in her heart. Sarah’s expertise and enthusiasm for creating children’s books make her the perfect fit for this project, and we are excited to have her lead the design efforts.Photo: Sarah's self portrait, 2025.
