Join us at the Making Space Bmore gallery for an evening of art and history featuring an artist talk by Hannah Atallah and lecture by dress historian and curator Wafa Ghnaim! 

Artist-in-Residence Hannah Atallah will discuss her current installation, Unfortunately, It Was Paradise, new work-in-progress, Problems of Value, and share about her artistic practice. Atallah operates at the nexus of public art, cultural preservation, and community engagement. In her works, she draws inspiration from culturally significant traditions of her Palestinian-Lebanese-Irish heritage, from marquetry to carpet weaving and tatreez embroidery.

Art and dress historian Wafa Ghnaim, co-curator of Making Space exhibitionTatreez Inheritance, will provide a lecture on the history and cultural significance of Palestinian tatreez embroidery and guide guests through a rare opportunity to enjoy the art of "close looking" with the dresses featured in the exhibition.

Please Note: Due to the fragile nature of the dresses, guests are invited to look but not touch. No food or drink is permitted near the dress display area, and those with long hair please secure it back.
