NOON Projects Hosts Sahel Supply: A Hand-Dyed Textile Collection by Dr. Virginia Noon and Mauritanian Artist Mariam Mint Mousa
NOON Projects is excited to host a special evening with “Sahel Supply”, a new collective project of hand-dyed textile garments created collaboratively by Professor Dr. Virginia Noon and Mauritanian textile artist Mariam Mint Mousa.
Having spent many years living and traveling extensively in Mauritania and the broader Sahel region of North Africa, Dr. Noon launched "Sahel Supply" in 2024 to collaborate with and support female textile artisans in Nouakchott, Mauritania’s capital. The initiative showcases the unique skills of Mauritanian female home dyers by using traditional North African textile techniques on second-hand men’s dress shirts sourced from the local clothing market.
On the evening of November 23rd, 2024, from 6–8 PM, NOON Projects is honored to present the pair’s inaugural collection, featuring one-of-a-kind hand-dyed shirts, textiles, and home objects. Each shirt has been meticulously tied, dyed, or block-printed, making every piece a unique work of art, each for sale at NOON Projects.
Please join us for this very special evening, including a short lecture on the project at 7 PM.
Dr. Virginia Noon is a Professor of Fashion at Framingham State University with over 30 years of experience in the fashion and textile industry, specializing in technical design in the lingerie sector across the U.S., China, Hong Kong, and Korea. She is also the author of Mauritania's Home-Based Textile and Apparel Dyeing Industry: Work, Culture, Health, and the Question of Sustainability in the 21st Century, the only comprehensive history of traditional textile and dress in Mauritania.
Mariam Mint Mousa is a Nouakchott-based craftsperson, dyer, and artist who uses traditional Sahel and Northern African resist dye methods, including tisrarr (wrap) technique, lekhyadha (needle) technique tampon (stamp wax resist) technique. This exhibition marks her debut presentation outside Mauritania.

SIRA*: "The Joy Apocalypse and Other Musings About the End of the World"
Performance Lecture and Listening Evening in celebration of “Songs For The End of the World” by SIRA* out October 4th, 2024
NOON Projects is honored to present SIRA*: "The Joy Apocalypse and Other Musings About the End of the World," a special performance and listening event that marks the beginning of a global series of artist-led presentations celebrating the new album Songs For The End of the World by SIRA* (aka Zina Saro-Wiwa).
Through music, storytelling, spirits, sacrament, and dance, SIRA* creates a space to reflect on the end of the world, explore our fears about the ground crumbling beneath us, and consider how to navigate a post-truth society. The album and the insights gained during the evening serve as tools for survival—part of your toolkit for enduring the apocalypse.
The event unfolds in two acts: one dedicated to listening, and another devoted to dancing and joy. Please join us for this very special evening
