Hoori Handmade - An Exhibition of Embroidery, Story and Survival
Description
An Exhibition of Embroidery, Story and Survival
This exhibition showcases embroideries created by Afghan women living under a gender apartheid imposed by the Taliban. Each piece reflects cultural heritage, resilience and hope - preserving traditional techniques while providing vital income and independence.
Every embroidery sold supports an Afghan woman to earn an income and support her family, sustain her craft, and share her silenced voice with the world.
Special Talk with Mursal Azizi
Founder, Hoori Handmade
Mursal will share the story behind Hoori Handmade, the women behind the embroideries, how the project began, and how they support artisans to earn an income through their work.
