Huda Lutfi participates in ‘IMAGINE CLIMATE DIGNITY,’ a group exhibition at Künstlerhaus Wien in Vienna, Austria, curated by Barbara Höller and Simon Mraz. Lutfi has created a new textile-based work, ‘Shifting Perspectives: Maps, Spaces, Places and the Urban’ (2024-2025), along with Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber.
On view from 1 March until 9 June 2025.
In their three textile map series, Bitter & Weber and Lutfi rethink Western cartographic norms, drawing from Arabic mapmaking traditions to reframe how we see a changing world. Inspired by maps from The Book of Curiosities and That Which Pleases the Eye—both produced in Fatimid-era Cairo—they place the Nile’s source, and the south, at the top. The works explore climate dignity through shifting political and spatial perspectives, brought to life through intricate appliqué and embroidery by Egyptian tent maker Tariq Al-Safti.
