An interactive weaving workshop, led by Elaheh Raofi.

Participants will learn ancestral hand-weaving techniques used in her current installation, paying homage to the many women who have and continue to work in the textiles industry in Iran and other Middle Eastern countries. 

Pirouz Installation – The New Generation

Elaheh’s The New Generation installation is a fusion of three distinct materials – a chair, a clock and a Persian carpet – each carrying its own powerful ancestral symbolism. Elaheh will be present at select times, performing her practice of weaving and sculpture.

The installation will be available to view from Monday 10 – Saturday 22 June, 9 – 5pm at the Nottingham Central Library
