Kuwait Textile Arts Show

The Kuwait Textile Arts show has been postponed, because of the mourning period, and will not be opening tonight at the Dar Al Cid, but will open Monday night. It will run from Monday through Wednesday at the Dar al Cid.

Many many women in Kuwait learned Sadu weaving this year, and you will be astonished and amazed to see the results of their efforts at the show, along with embroidery, hand crafted bags, and a large number of gorgeous quilts.

The Dar al Cid is located in Jabriya, near the New English school, the Tarek Rajab Museum, and on the same street as the Tarek Rajab Museum of Islamic Calligraphy.

  2. I hope you will visit, Jewaira. There is an amazing amount of talent in Kuwait, and the KTAA crosses all the boundaries of nationality and culture. Some of the best Sadu weavings in Kuwait are now woven by non-Kuwaitis!

    I am concerned that changing the dates from the weekend to Monday - Wednesday will hinder the attendance - so when you go, take all your friends, too!
