Summary: “Fashcultivate” is an exhibition co-curated by Emirati fashion designer/curator Khulood bin Thani and Fatma Al Mahmoud (Head of 1971 – Design Space, Sharjah) to celebrate date palms (Phoenix Dactylifera) for being one of the most cherished gifts of nature and their importance throughout the history of human civilization. Date palms have become part of the cultural and historical identity of the Gulf Region. They also play an important role in the region’s economy, with the UAE rated globally as the 6th largest producer of dates. The curators and Irthi Contemporary Crafts Council has developed a research with Dr. Sandra Piesik where findings has resulted in new materials being fabricated out of the date palm which is on show at the exhibition. The exhibition theme is also mirrored in the accompanying, bespoke exhibition design itself, created by Sharjah-based Interior/Product Designer Alya Al Ghfeli.
