Finding Space
Creating Space!
Haniyyah Kahn
Finding Space explores the evolving relationship between body and space, using textiles as a metaphor for transformation. From birth swaddling to daily garments to shrouds in death, textiles accompany us through life, carrying deep cultural meaning and reflecting personal stories. As the body shifts, so do textiles: stretching, folding, and evolving, mirroring the continuous transformation of self. Through fabric-based works, print, and sculpture, this exhibition repurposes discarded materials to challenge ideas of value and permanence. What was once considered obsolete is reshaped and reimagined, creating connections between material, maker, and community. These mediums explore both personal and collective histories, revealing the marks we leave on each other and the spaces we inhabit. This exhibition invites us to reconsider our connection to the materials we often overlook or discard. It encourages us to see them as living documents, constantly in motion.
