Hali London

Celebrating 40 years and 200 editions of HALI magazine, HALI London was the first London festival devoted to the art and history of textiles. Four unique elements came together to form the week-long celebration. The HALI Fair, Events, Symposium and Tour offered attendees the chance to look at textiles—symbols of wealth and status that have been traded across continents for centuries—as the key to unravelling complex cultural narratives.
