Special Exhibition: Woven Gardens of Hope

Led by Leise Pfeifer, academic curator, Ruth Davis Design Gallery. This exhibition celebrates the area’s rich textile traditions that have contributed to world culture for centuries. This artisanal tradition is presented through historic carpets from private collections, objects from the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection and carpets by Afghan women participating in ARZU Hope Studio. Through their weaving, the women achieve entrepreneurial success and community sustainability.
