Highlights
FROM THE CURRENT ISSUE
COMMON THREADS
Our cover features Aya Haidar’s (2022)س بتذوببتتشميس اذا from the artist’s Tolteesh series, which features hand-embroidered fabrics that utilise craft as a method of expression and commentary on society and power dynamics. In this issue, Common Threads, we delve into how fabric and textiles have been the basis of storytelling and sharing memories across generations, looking at how costumes and uniforms contribute to identity, and how artists seek to create contemporary narratives with every stitch.
