Issue 114 - ONCE UPON A TIME

The role of textiles in art is fraught with issues over nomenclature, definition and gendering, but contemporary artists are breaking out of the traditional straitjackets and finding new ways to cut old cloth.

Issue 106 - MAKING THEIR MARK
Jan/Feb 2023

We often think of figurative art as a foil to abstraction, something that is directly representational rather than a foray into visual metaphor and language. But what happens when the two converge, and particularly so when they focus on the female body in a Middle Eastern context?
Featuring work by: Mariam Albinali, Ghada Amer, Hayv Kahraman, Tala Madani, Hend Samir

Issue 104 - LET’S GET PHYSICAL
Summer 2022

What does home mean when it is absent or was never there? Especially when global movement and migration are both so frequent and politicised that many artists explore their diasporic experiences through their work as a way of seeking a stable identity.
Featuring work by: Sree, Stephanie Comilang, Jordan Nassar, Stéphanie Saadé, Nazar Yahya

Issue 100
Nov/Dec 2021

Jan/Feb 2022

The Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre is located in one of the city’s most glittering locations, surrounded by galleries, public art, restaurants and nightlife. For art lovers especially, a stay at the modern boutique-style hotel promises a stimulating and dynamic cultural experience.

With people now assessing the transformed nature of their daily lives, it’s the perfect time for Hermés to launch its 2021-2022 Collection for the home. Designed to celebrate the symbiosis of the human touch, natural textures and raw materials, the range of items explores different tactile languages to build safe and pleasurable spaces.

Maison Valentino has worked with five international painters for their Valentino Collezione Milano campaign, in which each artist creatively incorporates one of the collection’s Valentino Garavani accessories in a new work.
