Arts from Artsakh: A Threaded World
Armenian Institute
In September 2023, the region of Nagorno-Karabakh succumbed to a political conflict without precedence. As a result, the people residing in these mountainous lands have been compelled into exile, leaving behind a treasure trove of traditions whose fate remains uncertain. Among the most significant of these traditions is the art of carpet weaving. The rugs originating from Nagorno Karabakh stand as unparalleled marvels, encapsulating within their threads a plethora of stories and enduring traditions.
Join expert Hratch Kozibeyokian in this enlightening presentation to explore the captivating world of symbols and motifs concealed within the intricate knots of these carpets. He argues that this part of Armenian culture too is subjected to cultural appropriation and, ultimately, cultural genocide. This session promises to unveil the richness of these artistic creations and delve into the profound narratives and cultural significance woven into each rug.
