This fragment is part of the "CulturalxCollabs - Weaving the Future" carpet.
Through the fragment we trace the journey of the fragment owners and their collabs as they explore, experiment and creatively advance socially relevant themes. Here is the fragment as we are sending it on this three and a half-year journey.

The journey begins...
...with Silk Road Peace: Fateme Hamti and Alireza Saadat
Friendship has no border
At present, fragment #46 for the journey on the Silk Road is with Fateme Hamti and Alireza Saadat in Iran.
We began our research to study the Silk Road in Iran by bike in the year 2011 . Through these studies, we realized that despite the differences between governments and ethnic groups, peace has always prevailed on the Silk Road.With the slogan 'Friendship has no border,' we make every effort to take the peace on the Silk Road as a model and inform everyone about it.

About the Project
The Museum for Islamic Art's project, #CulturalxCollabs - Weaving the future, celebrates the transformative power of cultural exchange and the shared threads that unite us all. All the things we love, have loved and will ever love come from cultural exchange, migration and diversity, or as we like to call it #CulturalxCollabs.
100 carpet fragments, cut from a replica of the iconic dragon carpet, will travel the world (delivered by DHL). The fragments will ignite #CulturalxCollabs with co-creators, inspiring human ingenuity, fostering community and ultimately demonstrating how cultural exchange enriches all our lives.
