Hoori Handmade: Exhibition of Embroidery, Story & Survival
About the event
An Exhibition of Embroidery, Story and Survival This exhibition showcases embroideries created by Afghan women living under a gender apartheid imposed by the Taliban. Each piece reflects cultural heritage, resilience and hope - preserving traditional techniques while providing vital income and independence. Every embroidery sold supports an Afghan woman to earn an income and support her family, sustain her craft, and share her silenced voice with the world. Special Talk with Mursal Azizi Founder, Hoori Handmade Mursal will share the story behind Hoori Handmade, the women behind the embroideries, how the project began, and how they support artisans to earn an income through their work. Bookings are essential. Tickets are $20. For those unable to attend, embroideries can be purchased at www.hoorihandmade.com.au Please make a donation if you are unable to attend and would like to support the work of Afghan women.
