Weaving Poems

Visit the captivating Weaving Poems exhibition, part of the Design Doha biennial, until 30th April 2024

Weaving Poems is an immersive exhibition by Turquoise Mountain's lead designer Maryam Omar, which she has created with the weavers we support in Afghanistan.

Maryam’s 24 carpet designs celebrate the artisan communities of Bamiyan and their rich heritage. Each carpet is inspired by the silhouettes, topographies and textures synonymous with Afghanistan’s rich scenery, and are accompanied by a soundscape of the traditional poems recited by the women as they skilfully weave.
