Radioactive Rugs

​Exhibition: Oct 29th-Nov 28th, 2018 at Adobe Book, Backroom Gallery, San Francisco, CA

The Klozar Weaving Project was started officially in 2014 by Shaghayegh Cyrous and Soheila Moayed Jafari, a mother and daughter living separately in the United States and Iran. The project is focused on supporting women who are weaving kilims and rugs in Iran by paying them higher wages than average. Additionally, the practice of hand-weaving rugs and the traditional patterns from each family are passed on to future generations. This project was denied by the Iranian government for many years, seized by the US government for four months, and then finally stopped in the middle of the Iran-US nuclear deal. Radioactive Rugs is a multimedia installation that transports you to explore this project's political barriers and journeys.
