Woven Worlds

Fashion as a Mirror of Cultural and Social Movement​
In every fold of fabric lies a story, and in every stitch, time is rewritten. Fashion is a visual dialogue between art and history—a living, unseen, and ever-evolving archive that carries within its layers the voices and dynamic movements of societies. It is the space where art meets humanity, where threads transform into visual expressions of shifts in individual and collective identities.​

Woven Worlds is an exploration of the spaces where art intersects with history, where stories are told through needle and thread, and where fabrics leave their mark on the flow of time. How has fashion borne witness to changing perceptions? How do folds and pleats narrate stories of identity and belonging? These are the questions posed by the exhibition, inviting profound reflection on the relationship between humanity and its creations.​

The exhibition serves as an open invitation to view fashion as a vibrant mirror, pulsating with life, in constant interaction with every cultural and social movement. From traditional garments that encapsulated the spirit of early communities to contemporary designs that defy conventions, every piece here reflects the creative tension between permanence and transformation.​

We invite you to step into these Woven Worlds, where fabric meets meaning, and where fashion evolves from craft into an ongoing cultural dialogue—redefining our relationship with time, society, and ourselves.​

City in Motion

Cities are never static, nor are their borders fixed. With every movement, every interaction, and every shift in perspective, urban landscapes evolve, adapting to the changing needs and visions of their inhabitants.​

This exhibition presents a visual exploration of the city as a living, dynamic entity—one where urban structures mirror the human condition. Landmarks transform alongside societal shifts, streets become imprints of collective memory, and architecture bears witness to cultural evolution.​

City in Motion is not merely an observation of place but an inquiry into the perpetual exchange between humanity and the built environment—an ongoing dialogue in which both shape and redefine one another.​​

An Unseen Trace

We do not perceive the world as it is, but as we experience it.

Between what happens and what remains, the trace emerges—not as a measurable fact, but as a subtle force shaping our awareness without notice.

In this sense, music is not merely a sonic event; it is an experience whose impact outlives the moment of listening and settles in a place deeper than the senses.

“An Unseen Trace” invites us to reconsider our relationship with sound—not as a tool for perception, but as a transformative force.

This exhibition does not present music; it traces its manifestations when it transcends aesthetic function and becomes an invisible presence that links body to memory, rhythm to space, and the moment to what lies beyond it.

Within this multi-layered artistic composition, the works are not presented as answers, but as open signals toward sensory experiences that go beyond the surface of sound.

It is a meditation on what a moment leaves behind—

and on our capacity to listen to what is not said,

to respond to what is not seen,

yet quietly, precisely, and permanently alters something within us

Creativity’s Stance on Waste

If the city could speak, what would every sunlit balcony say? Every wall that held a memory?

We live in cities, we leave and return, we build and develop… but what if we truly listened?

Every structure carries a language, every wall holds a trace, and every fragment of rubble marks the beginning of a new story.”

In this exhibition, through the symbol “5 Tons”, we invite visitors to contemplate the city as a living entity—one that breathes, reacts, and evolves.

Concrete is not just a material; it’s a vessel of time. The sun is not merely light; it is a historian, etching its presence on façades year after year. And the air stands as a silent witness to the shifting moods of urban life—recording what cities lose when built faster than they are understood.

This is not a celebration of demolition, but of the possibilities that emerge when matter is re-read. From the remains of structures and the waste of factories, a new potential is born:

Recycling not just as an industrial practice, but as an act of reflection, an aesthetic decision, and a conscious relationship with place.

In the face of accelerating climate shifts and urban expansion, the pressing question becomes:

How do we design a city that breathes?

How do we listen to materials and give them a second life?

Perhaps the answer lies not only in the materials themselves—but in how we choose to see and engage with them

Immortal Sacrifices

Reviving Saudi Heritage Through Art

In the heart of Diriyah, where the very roots of the Saudi state lie, Takhleed comes to life in celebration of the Founding Day with the “Immortal sacrifices” gallery, bringing pivotal moments from the history of the First Saudi State into the artistic realm.

Featuring 14 artworks by six emerging Saudi artists, and curated by the Takhleed team who meticulously conducted historical research and developed the artistic concept, the 1st collection reimagines the heroism and sacrifices that shaped the nation’s legacy. We invite you to experience Takhleed, where art meets history, and stories are retold through the language of colors and lines.

Besides the artworks, the gallery showcases authentic heritage artifacts, including rare pieces that embody strength and identity.

Impact in Transformation

Abdulaziz Ashour is one of the most prominent artists in the Saudi and Gulf art scene. He began his artistic career in the early 1980s and is known for blending deep thinking with modern art techniques in his works and projects. This artist is considered a first-class writer, having published numerous important literary books and articles. He has also participated in many local and international exhibitions, and has chaired several judging committees and held important memberships in the arts and creative field. His works have been acquired by several museums and organizations, including renowned international auctions such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s. He recently published an article for Misnad titled “Whispers of the Camels” to commemorate the Year of the Camel.

The artist found in his passion for dismantling chairs, reassembling and recycling them, a plan that led to an inclination towards material sustainability and incorporating contrasting aesthetic concepts

A Journey Through Time – an extraordinary event where art and history converge in a timeless moment, transforming the passion for collecting into a means of breathing new life into heritage.

In this exceptional exhibition, the essence of authenticity is embodied through rare artworks by Saudi and Arab artists. Each piece tells stories of dreams and identity, deeply intertwined with a heritage that spans over three centuries.

Here, beauty blends seamlessly with history. Antique weapons and ancient manuscripts carry within their details the immortal memory of past civilizations, opening chapters and narratives of the rich legacy of the Middle East.

For the first time, these rare treasures come together under one roof – not only to celebrate their aesthetic value, but to reintroduce and reinterpret them in the light of the present and the future.

We believe that time, in all its moments, plays a vital role in redrawing the contours of our history through art and heritage. As you wander through the halls of this exhibition, you’ll experience a living harmony between the past, the present, and what lies ahead – a space pulsating with the eloquence of visual, cultural, and intellectual dialogue that nourishes the soul and awakens memory. You are invited to join us on April 13 for a unique experience and an exceptional opportunity to own a part of this heritage. This art and heritage auction opens the door for collectors and enthusiasts to become part of the cultural journey our nation aspires to achieve through Vision 2030 – reaching, by God’s will, global recognition through the treasures of our civilization, authenticity, and enduring history. “Rare artistic collectibles are not merely objects – they are timeless souls, speaking to those who are willing to see and listen

I don't know Programs

An initiative launched by Masnad, and it is an extension of a series of works by one of the JAX artists. The program aims to provide an interactive experience led by the participant from their own unique perspective, where the artwork becomes part of a shared creative vision.

Masnad provided a space for producing the program’s artistic works.
They also provided the infrastructure needed to implement the program,
marketed the program through their official channels and in collaboration with JAX,
produced the content and creative journey within the program,
and created five artworks through five teams that included 35 participants.
Recycled materials were used in the production of the artworks.

Dry Beach

Summer is always a transitional phase from one state to another; it is the bridge between what has been presented and what is new, between organizing dreams and making them come true.

Example:
In education, summer is what separates school from university. In football, summer is the time to prepare for the new season, supporting the team with players, training camps, and many other aspects. Summer serves as a transitional stage in many areas.

And since summer is also about relaxation, rest, and travel… this is when you find time for yourself to organize your dreams away from pressures.

Curator Mohammed Al-Kabir and artist MLT embodied in this summer art exhibition the idea of the dreams each of us lives with, how we might achieve them, and the challenges we face. How you are responsible for your dreams, for protecting them, achieving them, and maintaining them.

And since Riyadh doesn’t have a sea, we created this dry beach.

Abla the Silly

A satirical art exhibition addressing a social issue that concerns all of us.

Abla Al-Habla is a character created by the artist MLT to represent the mean person in our lives, whether male or female — that person you realize, despite your trust in them, will betray you, the person who rebels when you show them kindness, whose energy is negative from the very first day they enter your life. Their negative impact on you is strong. This toxic relationship must be cut off immediately.

Following the success of the summer exhibition BEACH DRY and the active contribution of Turki Al-Tuwaijri in supporting the exhibition, the curator Mohammed Al-Kabeer and artist MLT decided to collaborate with Turki for this exhibition, officially joining the team as a co-curator.

This exhibition is a first-of-its-kind experience in the field of art exhibition direction and coordination. Now we have a new and distinct artistic value.
