Your Ancestry Is Only a Thread Away | Hana Almilli

Hana Almilli is a multimedia artist, textile designer, and poet based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Her research-based practice explores the idea of recreating affected, and resurrected identities through the material culture of textile and assemblages. Belonging to Turkish, Syrian, Kurdish, and Saudi lineage, she was persuaded with questions of identity. Enquiring into perpetual alienation, her ideology developed into discovering, and representing the term "Al Ghorba" (estrangement in a foreign land).
