I went to see an embroidery exhibition called “Threading our way: a retrospective”. I saw a hanging in the exhibition, which included a small square that I made with the group 10 years ago! I stitched the word “peace” in Arabic. I forget about it and it was a nice memory to remember!

Yesterday I went to October Gallery for a talk by Iraqi master artist-calligrapher, Hassan Massaudy. It was in conjunction with the exhibition “Breath, Gesture and Light”. He talked about his work and creative process.
I visited the Royal Academy of Arts Summer exhibition this week. It was so nice to see a variety of work from different artists. Here are some pictures from the exhibition.
Pictures from a recent visit to Margate. While I was there I also saw a Turner contemporary exhibition called “Entangled: Threads & Making” and The Shell Grotto.
Last weekend I went to the Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia, London. Here are some photos.
Also, I recently joined Instagram, if any readers are interested in following me on there.
I recently visited the Serpentine Gallery to see an exhibition about Zaha Hadid’s early paintings and drawings. The exhibition was very nice.
Last week I went to see an exhibition of antique Libyan jewellery. There was also vintage and recent photography by Sassi Harib.
While I was there I was surprised to see a book called “The Art of Party Crashing in Medieval Iraq”.
