| 'fashcultivate' evite . 2019 |
i'm happy to announce my participation in 1971 - design space's upcoming exhibition – 'fashcultivate'. the exhibition will showcase newly commissioned works by a group of artists and designers focusing on fashion and textiles. each participant created new works inspired by the 'phoenix dactylifera', better known as the date palm tree.
it feels like 2019 is the year where i introduce my textiles practise to the art community! with my first textile project post grad school at the beginning of the year (see here), along with showcasing my thesis project at tashkeel (see here), i'm so glad to have squeezed one more textile project before the year's up. the piece for this exhibition is quite different from my previous textile works – i tend to work on textile pieces for the body. however on this occasion, i decided to work on a 'carpet', referencing the rich culture of ornamental, islamic carpets from the region. i won't reveal much just yet, so stay tuned for a future post revealing the final piece with accompanying information.
until then, i hope whoever's reading this can make it to sharjah for the opening of 'fashcultivate' on saturday 2 november 2019, from 4.30pm onwards. for details on 'fashcultivate' head to the exhibition page here. see you at the opening!
