The Looms We Resemble accentuates the similarities and intersections between different cultures and histories. Over the span of one month, the artists in this exhibition gathered to learn more about weaving and sit with the patience it offers.
Curatorial Tour with Fatma Hendawy
Each artist manifested their very unique and intimate connections with their heritage, ancestors, and identity. Through this guided tour, we will delve deep into these connections and explore how each artist found solace in being together, weaving, telling stories, sharing time and space and producing new artworks that capture the essence of this togetherness.
The tour will end with an informal open discussion between the curator and attendees.
