We speak with Dr. Reem El Mutwalli from The Zay Initiative a non-profit, UK registered initiative advancing the preservation of cultural heritage through the collection, documentation and digital archiving of Arab historical attire and their stories. The Zay Initiative’s goal is to empower and sustain global cross cultural dialogue to inspire creative minds.
The founder of the Zay Initiative, Dr. Mutwalli has invested in a collection of historic dress over the course of the past decades. The collection includes examples acquired from the simplest rural families to the ruling families of the region.
During our in-depth discussion, Dr. Mutwalli discusses the history of the collection, the importance for preserving heritage, and how fashion is being used to dispel myths and misconceptions about women and society as a whole.
