Daydreamers, Majd Abdel Hamid’s first solo exhibition in London, brings together new and ongoing series of needlework. Initiated as early as 2013, these evolving and, at times, completed bodies of work emerge from specific social and political moments, appearing as what the artist describes as 'textures of memory'.
In dialogue with Hamid's most recent project for the 2024 Lyon Biennial, which sought to find cracks within the binary logic of the Jacquard loom’s punch card, this exhibition marks a point of departure in his practice. Here, the artist considers how everyday acts of making may partake in the understated project of carving out spaces for possibility, quiet joy, and life.
