Kheit خيط

Nour Hage: Kheit خيط (28 April – 16 July 2023) is an exhibition and event series in collaboration with Leighton House, the 19th century home of artist Lord Frederic Leighton. Meaning ‘thread’ in Arabic, Kheit presents three artworks created in response to the tiles in the Arab Hall and staircase hall. An award-wining textile artist, Nour researched and was inspired by the museum’s textile collection to create two new art pieces, as well as a third one created in collaboration with a group of eight local residents of Kensington and Chelsea.
