</div>
The focal point of our exhibition is the woven installation, comprised of 72 pieces from over 30 international artists and makers. 10 of the pieces were made by students of artist and textiles professor, <a href="http://www.leslirobertson.com/">Lesli Robertson</a> who is our consultant on this project. We will post their pieces and stories in a future post!<br />
<br />
In this post we are featuring the work of the artists that are based in Kuwait. The techniques they used range from weaving to crochet, knitting, quilting, macramé, fabric painting, hand and machine embroidery, and 3D printing! All of the pieces came together in a harmonious way to form a symphony of colors and textures that tell the artists' personal stories of Kuwait.<br />
<br />
Here are stories of each piece:<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "roboto"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My interest
in making things increased after I started my 3D printing business in 2014. I
started by search for makers in Kuwait to show them how can they benefit from a
3D printer in their field. I met jewelry designers, woodworkers, metal workers,
tinkers, they were all great people. I started learning new skills in different
fields and here where the story begins. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "roboto"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I saw Sadu
House weaving workshop and thought let’s try it out and learn what are the
weaving techniques that can be automated, since I’m a computer engineer I can
make a machine to weave automatically. I told my family and friends that I’m
joining a weaving workshop, surprisingly some of them laughed and said “Weaving
is a women thing!” After the workshop I talked with Lesli, the instructor,
about what I do and showed her my new app, Indx: The Makers directory. She
proposed that we join the Weaving Stories project and use our 3D printers to
make our piece. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "roboto"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The piece,
The Weaved Pattern, is inspired by the modern architecture in Kuwait and
weaving. The goal behind our piece is to present Kuwait's future. The idea is
to weave the 3D printed plastic patterns, inspired by one of the Avenues mall
shades located next to Kidzania in front of the roundabout, together using
yarn. We are trying to show the use of the new technology in making products
and art.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "roboto"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A lesson to
remember, don’t let the general culture affect your decisions because it's not
always right. If a man from the past two centuries said that weaving is a women
thing and it became part of our society's mentality, remember that he is a
human and he could be wrong. “This is a people that have passed away; they
shall have what they earned and you shall have what you earn, and you shall not
be called upon to answer for what they did.” Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 134</span><span style="font-family: "roboto"; mso-bidi-font-family: Roboto; mso-fareast-font-family: Roboto;"> </span></div>

For me, textiles are a key to different cultures, and have the ability to open up the world, making it not seem so big.<br />
<br />
I am thrilled that through the <i>Weaving Stories</i> initiative, I am able to give my students an opportunity to connect to a culture and a textile that they otherwise may never come across. As a part of this exhibition, we are constructing a very large sculpture inspired by the Sadu tent divider. This woven sculpture will be comprised of dozens of contributions from makers and artists throughout Kuwait and now from Texas!<br />

I had the privilege of introducing both my Alternative Processes and Advanced Weaving classes to Sadu weaving, giving students context for this textile art and how it fits within contemporary culture. We discussed the Weaving Stories exhibition and the large scultural tent divider that numerous makers and artists are contributing to. Through all of this discussion, each student is finding their own inspiration from Sadu weaving and the culture of Kuwait.As they work on their designs to submit for this project, I am very excited to see their willingness to embrace a new culture through their textile arts and look forward to seeing their ideas and designs come to life.<br />

P.S. - The excitement of this project is spreading... I had a former student find out about the project and decide that she HAS to create a panel. She was able to get all of the information, Powerpoints and requirements and literally begged to be able to participate! So Jenna, I can't wait to see your piece!

The core of <i>Weaving Stories</i> is the loom - it is the foundation for all of the inspiration this project draws on. The sadu weaving of Kuwait is unique because of their particular loom, which literally shaped the cloth that continues to inspire. Historically, these looms were a direct part of the nomadic Bedouin culture. They had to be transportable, easy to set up, and able to weave meters upon meters of cloth for the tents and other household objects needed for life in the desert. They were originally simple structures, made of steel rods, sticks, and rocks. The rods were pounded into the desert floor and the sticks were placed on the outside of these rods to hold the fibers under tension. There are few photos of these looms, so you can imagine what it looked like to have the oranges, reds, browns, and cream of the warp and cloth stretched out on the desert floor.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, the nomadic life of the Bedouin has transferred to one more
stationary, so these looms have evolved. Sadu House has several versions
that the weavers use today, the most common and liked is one of steel,
welded together. It has the same function, position on the floor, but
limits the weaver on the length they are able to weave.<br />

Weaving was a part of the community, and the weaving of elaborate and large scale cloth was one not solely done by an individual, but several women coming together. With this vision in mind, we are taking the inspiration from the looms, creating two unique and interactive works.<br />
