We’re so excited to celebrate Women’s History Month with the talented artist Azaïdé whose work champions female emancipation and liberation through a unique blend of retro-pop-art-revolutionary.

Come join Azaïdé and experience the artist’s skillful technique of hand embroidery that revisits this ancient technique with a modern twist. You will get to choose from various designs created by the artist herself exclusively for you to customize during a two-hour workshop while sipping on refreshing beverages and mouth-watering treats. Participating guests will be able to take their creation home as a long-lasting souvenir to exhibit at home.

This one-of-a-kind event is open to all curious minds, with no art experience necessary.

About The Instructor:
Azaïdé made Dubai her home eight years ago. Born in Paris, of French, Algerian, and Spanish origins, her art is a blend of retro-pop-art-revolutionary, and it’s interesting to get a peek into the thought process behind each of her works. For Azaïdé, it all starts with an old black-and-white photograph. Then, she imagines a story about the people she sees in the picture and creates new characters and powerful women she looks up to. At last, she adds a funky touch with elements from pop culture for all to relate.

Her works aim to create a cross-cultural dialogue among global audiences through a blend of vintage and vogue, tradition and innovation, and art and Fashion. Through a labor-intensive, time-consuming process of hand embroidery, she depicts independent and strong women in diverse settings, highlighting various patterns’ heritage, and fusing vintage and modern codes into authentic traditional wear.
