On Thursday 7th May 2026, between 12:00pm and 1:00pm, the Kiswa Arts and Culture Gallery had the honour of delivering a special virtual session in collaboration with the Lloyds Banking Group Muslim Network
The session included a presentation on the history and significance of the Kiswa of the Holy Kaaba, followed by a short curated exhibition walkthrough, Q&A session, and discussion surrounding the vision and mission of the Kiswa Arts and Culture Gallery
A huge thank you to Harris from Lloyds Banking Group and the Lloyds Muslim Network, whose support and initiative helped open the doors for this opportunity and introduce the project into the corporate space
Special thanks also to Adil Qazi, Communications & Engagement Assistant Manager for Consumer Growth at Lloyds Banking Group, for helping organise and facilitate the virtual session and preparation meetings leading up to the event
The engagement and feedback throughout the session was fantastic, and we hope this will be the first of many future collaborations and corporate exhibitions, in shā’ Allāh
