Senses of Yemen is a long-term, multi-stakeholder project led by Mabrouklyn to preserve and promote Yemeni heritage through a multi-sensory series of experiences. By immersing audiences in the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures of Yemeni culture, we seek not only to preserve Yemen's endangered material heritage but to celebrate and expand it.
Mabrouklyn works with collectors of Yemeni artefacts - silverware, pottery, textiles, photography, and more - who have entrusted us to document, preserve, and make them more accessible to the wider public, as well as provide students and specialists with opportunities to contribute to scholarship on these artefacts and fields relevant to them.
Creating an open-access bilingual (English & Arabic) archive.
Taking curated exhibitions on tour.
Designing hands-on workshops and educational resources.
Leveraging digital tools like 3D imaging and VR/AR experiences to expand accessibility.
Conducting, facilitating and publishing academic research.
We are excited to announce the launch of our first exhibition, in London, June 2025 - details coming soon. Stay tuned!
