NEW DATE: Journey of a Persian Carpet | Talk, Screening, and Family Art Activities

Persian Carpets: Talk, Short Film & Family Art Activities
As part of Maryam Bayat: Unrolling Paradise, this free public program offers a welcoming introduction to the art and history of Persian carpets through film, conversation, and hands-on making. Families and visitors of all ages are invited to explore the journey of a Persian carpet, from design and wool preparation to dyeing and weaving, and to learn more about the skill, tradition, and imagination carried in each work.
The program features a short educational talk alongside screenings of two animated films by acclaimed Iranian artist and animator Noureddin Zarrinkelk, The Little Prince and the Magic Carpet and Amir Hamzeh.
Hands-on art activities for families and children will round out the afternoon, creating an inviting space to learn, watch, and make together in connection with the exhibition.
This program is free and open to the public.
