Cultural x Collabs: Weaving the Future

Fragment No. 98

100 Fragment Journeys

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.

Follow this story to observe the transformations the fragment undergoes over the course of these years...

The journey begins ... with Adrivo

We are adrivo, a digital agency from Graz, and we are proud to be part of this great project. Fragment No. 98 found its way into our arms by chance at the kick-off event in Berlin. It has been part of our everyday office life ever since. Sometimes the fragment takes work off our hands, sometimes it gives us new tasks.

We, a team from different countries (Austria, Germany, Italy, Syria, Brazil, Great Britain) live CulturalxCollabs every day!

By the way, we are the ones responsible if something goes wrong with the upload of the CulturalxCollabs moments ;)

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.

Where is the Dragon?

The star of the "CulturalxCollabs - Weaving the Future" project is a so-called Caucasian dragon carpet from the 17th century. A dragon carpet - all well and good - but: where is the dragon?
