Henna Night / Shabe Kheena II by Hangama Amiri features selected works from the artist’s ongoing series by the same name: intricately sewn textile wall hangings that depict scenes from a traditional pre-wedding ceremony, in which the bride’s loved ones prepare her for the big day. A new, large-scale piece created specifically for the inaugural exhibition at Medias Res Gallery will add a new dimension to the narrative and complements the other pieces on view.
