Tashkeel is pleased to present the solo exhibition Of Liminal Threads by Ranim AlHalaky, marking the culmination of her journey with the Tashkeel Critical Practice Programme (CPP).

Through this body of work, Ranim AlHalaky explores the fragile spaces between permanence and impermanence, presence and absence, memory and forgetting. Drawing from deeply personal and collective experiences, the exhibition weaves together textile, and installation practices to interrogate the thresholds that define human existence.

Threads become more than a medium; they embody continuity, fragility, and resilience. By unraveling, knotting, and layering, AlHalaky translates the invisible weight of displacement and the temporal nature of memory into tactile forms. Her works create an environment where material and metaphor intersect—where fabric carries both intimacy and rupture, and where the act of weaving becomes a gesture of healing and survival.

Of Liminal Threads invites audiences to reflect on transitions and in-between states: the shifting borders of identity, the echoes of migration, and the delicate balance of belonging. Each piece compels viewers to consider how personal and communal histories are stitched together, often in fragile, fragmented ways, yet bound by resilience.

By transforming material into narrative, AlHalaky opens a dialogue about what it means to hold on, let go, and exist within thresholds. The exhibition is a meditation on liminality—those spaces where transformation is not only possible but inevitable.
