Four Corners of One Cloth: Textiles from the Islamic World Summary: Cloth was, and continues to be, a unifier across the Islamic world. This exhibition showcases textiles from the Whitworth’s collection, selected from across cultures and countries. The title of this exhibition refers to the Prophet Muhammad bringing together four leaders who all wanted to raise the sacred Black Stone from the ground up to the Ka’ba in Mecca. They placed the stone in the centre of a cloth so that each could take a corner and lift together.
