This accessories making workshop introduces participants to the traditional art of loom weaving. Mastered by Bedouins for hundreds of years, loom weaving is a craft used by tribes to make beautiful functional and decorative pieces. Each Bedouin tribe has its own tradition in the designs used; each pattern on a rug or tapestry tells unique story belonging to that tribe. Participants in the workshops will apply similar weaving techniques to make their own unique beaded bracelet. A modern take on an old tradition, this workshop aims to keep the tradition of loom weaving alive.

The exhibition presents a number of mixed media works that depict what the artist regards as precious instruments of manipulation control and systematic permeation of culture. This is revealed through a simple process of importation and exportation – an almost transfusion of sorts that conceals larger or perhaps more ominous aspects than what actually meets the eye.

Our current historical moment is suspended between polarizing speed and stillness. Speed has become a part of a world full of conflict, and has multiplied and expanded.
