From the opening of Sila, Al’Qala at the @realfabricatapices 

Her Hands, Her Land is installed on an 18th-century loom, the same loom once used to weave royal tapestries for the Royal Palace of Madrid.

A tool once used to serve power and monarchy now holds stories of land, labor, and survival. Placed within this structure, the work brings together two traditions of making; Palestinian embroidery and Spanish tapestry. Threads shift in meaning, moving between ornament and testimony, between craft and continuity.

The loom becomes a meeting point, where practices, separated by time and geography, come into relation. Embroidery appears not only as heritage, but as presence: held, repeated, and carried forward, where threads carry memory across time, and histories are not only preserved, but continuously reworked and reasserted.
