<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year, Beit Al Sadu will reimagine the role of weaving in our contemporary<br />culture through an initiative called <i>Weaving Stories</i>. This initiative will provide a platform to develop ways to bridge Beit Al Sadu and its weavers with the contemporary culture of Kuwait. In November, <i>Weaving Stories</i> will launch with an interactive exhibition that will collaborate with artists, organizations, and the local community. </span><br />
