Must See Video - The Afghan Carpet Project

The Afghan Carpet Project features six carpets designed by L.A.-based contemporary artists—Lisa Anne Auerbach, Liz Craft, Meg Cranston, Francesca Gabbiani, Jennifer Guidi, and Toba Khedoori—which were handmade by weavers in Afghanistan. The exhibition is the culmination of a project that began with a trip to Afghanistan to visit weavers in Kabul and Bamiyan in March 2014. Following the trip, each artist came up with an original design for a carpet. These reflect the artists' experiences in Afghanistan and derive from their own artistic practices.
