Your Ancestry Is Only a Thread Away | Hana Almilli Outline | The Arab World's Best Projects from Idea to Outcome

We kick of a new season of Outline with our new host, Sabine Boghossian, who interviews multimedia artist, photographer, writer and textile designer, Hana Almilli. Hana invites us into her multi-layered creative practice which centers mostly around textiles. Using fabric, she seeks to connect with her history, unite her ancestors and grapple with cultural and identity alienation — a feeling she has found resonates with many. She speaks about the feminine fibre that is integral to textile-based practices having been passed down generations from woman to woman, the value of the repetitive and meditative nature of weaving, and leveraging space and light as part of her work.
