This November, Portable Horizons, a solo exhibition by writer, artist, and NYU Abu Dhabi educator Jill Magi, will be on display at Tashkeel’s House 10 in Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood.

The exhibition explores the idea of “textility”—repetitive patterning instead of focal point, scene, narrative, background and foreground. It includes paintings, fabric works, experimental embroideries, sculpture, and poetry. Referring to the inspiration for this body of work, Magi said “While making this work, I had the Al Fahidi house in mind with its intense, small rooms that contrast with its wide-open sunlit courtyard.
