Fadhel Mourali

Textile designer Fadhel Mourali (b. 1993) built a mode of practice out of the legacy of his great-grandfather, a Swedish artisan known as the last basket maker from Risa’. A handweaver himself, Mourali spun the wood fibres of these baskets into yarn through his own hands whilst processing these fibres as pieces of storytelling. He explores weaving as a method to connect past and present, in the hope to reach the core of a subject, to fully understand a medium or narrative. By applying his own lived experience as a queer Swede with a North African background, he diversifies the possibilities of tradition, where his craft strives to broaden perspectives on identity and expand notions of kinship.
