Hyde Cabinet #27: Habibis—Threaded Lineage explores the preservation of memory and lineage through generational timelines.

In the careful stitches of this pillowcase lies a story of resilience, love, and the threads that bind generations together.

The Hyde Cabinet, named in honor of Megan Hyde, former Tang Educator for College and Public Programs and Curatorial Assistant (2008–2016), is an exhibition case curated by members of the Tang’s Student Advisory Council. Hyde Cabinet #27: Habibis—Threaded Lineage is organized by Kayla Hassett ’25.
