Currently showing at the Biennale Arte di Venezia 2024: Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere curated by Adriano Pedrosa
Open until 24 November 2024
Fig trees belonging to the artist’s grandmother in Benghazi, Libya lend their poetic impetus for the three textiles displayed in the Biennale. Strongly attached to place, trees hold and embody memories. Jaouda recreates their botanical elements through cloth she deconstructs, dyes in earthen tones, and resews into sculptural tapestries. She draws from the personification of olive trees by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish in conceptualization and title. Threading these works are notions of rootlessness and resilience, destruction and regeneration, and timelessness. The vegetal dyes possess their own force and unpredictability to activate the work. Jaouda’s sumptuously layered fabrics reverberate with colors at once deep and ethereal, shadowy and luminescent, as infinitely textured as memory itself.

Thought Threads is a group exhibition of textile-based works by artists Nour Jaouda, Emily Moore and Gal Leshem.
