| 'nomadic traces: journey of arabian scripts' exhibition e-invite . 2019 |
march madness is finally upon us, and i'm happy to announce my first exhibition participation of 2019! opening on march 16, i will be showcasing in warehouse 421's upcoming group show 'nomadic traces: journey of arabian scripts', in partnership with the khatt foundation. conceived and curated by dr. huda smitshuijzen abifarès, this exhibition 'explores the role that scripts have played in defining and preserving the cultural identity of past and present civilisations, and on the migrational and transformative nature of writing, and its ability to freely cross borders and cultures.'
the exhibition will feature important ancient scripts from the middle east – predecessors of the arabic script and language. the show will also include newly commissioned works by artists responding to selected ancient scripts to produce new artworks. i will be presenting new textile pieces, my first textile work since graduating from risd.
for more information, head to both warehouse 421 and khatt foundation's exhibition pages. stay tuned for a future post about my artwork for the show. until then, i hope to see you all in abu dhabi for the opening...
