i'm so happy to announce that my textile piece 'the palm tree of life' is being exhibited at this year's edition of dubai design week. this is the second time this piece is shown – the first being in the 'fashcultivate' exhibition last year at 1971 design space, whom the piece was originally commissioned for and is part of their permanent collection.
the 'fashcultivate' exhibition, curated by khulood bint thani and fatma al mahmoud, returns with a new exhibition design by alya alghfeli. dubai design week is from the 9th until 14th november. so make sure to check it out if you can, and keep your social distancing in check! this exhibition has some great fashion and textile pieces on display – photos don't do it justice. the dubai design week edition of 'fashcultivate' is on display in building 5, at dubai design district (d3). for exhibition and venue details, check out the links here and here.
before ending this post, i'd like to thank khulood for her constant support and inviting me to be a part of this exhibition last year. also a huge thank you to fatma, alya and the entire 1971 team for their efforts in installing the show, their constant updates over whatsapps and dm's, and making sure it all looks great for the public to enjoy...
