Our aim is to make hali.com the place you check for what's happening across carpets, textiles and Islamic art, between issues as much as within them. If you set up a free account, you can set your content preferences, save articles to read later and stay on top of daily updates as they're published. If you'd like access to the full digital archive and each new issue as it lands, a HALI subscription is also available.
HALI is in Santa Fe at the Annual Whitehawk Antique Indian & Ethnographic Art Show from 6–9 August sponsoring the excellent exhibition ‘The First Moderns’, a collection of Navajo Germantown weavings. Please look out for further material from the show.
Our coverage of major museum gallery openings in the carpet and textile field includes our reviews of the new textile galleries at the MAK in Vienna, the Michael C Rockefeller Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and most recently the new David Geffen Galleries at LACMA. Alongside these permanent gallery additions we share announcements about forthcoming exhibitions, including a reprise of the recent spectacular Savonnerie carpet exhibition in Paris opening at the Met in New York, an announcement of an exhibition of rare Inka-era garments at the Textile Museum in Washington, and a major exhibition of Indian chintz, featuring the collection of Karun Thakar, at London’s V&A Museum in London that will coincide with HALI’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
