You will have the option to upload your idea and content that you create with your fragment and become part of the global network of collabers through the DHL InMotion Portal.

On the story here click on 'I already have a carpet fragment' and you will be redirected to this portal.

Where can I see what the other current owners of the carpet fragments are up to?

Please see our story: The fragments journeys. Here you can go to individual fragments and get updates about their current owners and their culturalxcollab journey.

I have an Instagram account, and would like to post updates of my fragment on my social media, should I be following any guidelines?

I have no social media accounts, Facebook or Instagram, what should I do?

Don't worry, we will also be sharing updates of all fragment and their current owners through our Islamic·Art Online Portal.

There is a Nomination form at the end, when should I fill this out?

You will be contacted by DHL about shipment of the fragment if you choose this option. This will be of no cost to you and the charges will be taken care of by DHL.

I have filled out the Nomination form, what happens next?

Congratulations on completing your CulturalxCollab journey. Don't forget to sign the label on the back of the fragment. At the bottom of the nomination form there is a question, would you like to deliver the fragment yourself, if you selected no for this question - DHL will contact you to organize the shipment free of cost. Please sit back and relax until DHL contacts you. You have nothing more to do at this moment.

If you selected yes to this question you will be responsible for handing over the fragment yourself.
