Telling stories in a forgotten way

Anamnesis is a collaboration with four Iranian tribal women, in a show of rugs, using the power of recollection and the art of weaving to tell their personal stories. It explores how the tradition of rug weaving is slowly vanishing in Iran. It aims to restore the weavers as creators as opposed to manual laborers by reinstating the power of symbols and heritage of storytelling, in a practice, that’s an important part of nomadic and tribal culture in Iran.

The show will be accompanied by a short film chronicling the journey of the project and a limited edition book showcasing each weaver, their final piece and the memory that inspired it.

The project will culminate with an exhibition in late fall of 2019 in Tehran, Iran and will travel to New York in the winter of the same year with the possibility of traveling to other cities across the United States in 2020.
