Modesty Unravelled Exhibition Opens this Saturday 6 July
Modesty Unravelled explores Muslim women’s freedom of dress and expression. You can experience the multimedia fashion design exhibition at MK Gallery’s Project Space 6th July – 4 August.
Find out about the process behind the exhibition, curated by Rena Al-Jawad, here.
Rena says of her inspiration:
“Modesty Unravelled is a concept that has been close to my heart for years. It’s a theme I explored in depth during my master’s programme and one that forms the foundation of my business. I am a passionate advocate for women’s freedom of expression and dress, and I am dedicated to providing them with a platform to share their experiences and emotions. My curiosity and creativity have guided me in developing this new artistic collection, which I am excited to present.”
