June 23 - 30, 2010
The exhibition Fine Crafts by Women of Developing Countries from ARTIZAN SARAI is held in conjunction with the visit of Mariam Atash Nawabi of Kabul, Afghanistan to El Paso. This exhibition, shown at Adair Margo Gallery, includes a selection of beautiful embroidered silk pillowcases and shawls, as well as embroidered handbags and jewelry. The shawls are from rural villages around the city of Herat, Afghanistan, where women artisans are struggling to bring back the silk trade after years of war. Nawabi, attorney, social entrepreneur and journalist who is active in bettering the lives of Afghan Women, will be addressing UTEP students at the new Business Center downtown on June 23.
