For The Afghan Carpet Project, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles invited six artists, including Jennifer Guidi, to travel to Afghanistan to learn about the history and process of hand-weaving carpets and then to create designs to be produced by Afghan weavers. The project was initiated by the nonprofit organization AfghanMade, along with carpet producer Christopher Farr, Inc., with proceeds benefiting Arzu Studio Hope. This video provides an account of the project, including interviews with the participating artists and footage from their trip to Kabul and Bamiyan in March 2014, as well as views of the resulting carpets displayed at the Hammer Museum.
