About The Project
October 2019 – February 2020; Landscapes of Hope.
The project consisted of one participatory workshop and two public events where the women of al-Hattaba neighbourhood in Historic Cairo joined by a designer and a khiyamiyya (patchwork) artisan to design and implement a communal patchwork khiyamiyya hanging that tells the history of al-Hattaba from their perspective. The workshop builds on women’s basic skill in khiyamiyya. The story was disseminated further through a short film on the making of the quilt.
It is planned to hang the patchwork in al-Shurafa’ Mausoleum after the completion of Athar Lina’s conservation project. Athar Lina and the women trained in this program are currently producing a product line inspired by the khiyamiyya .
You can shop the khiyamiyya “al-Hattaba Collection”here.
