This lecture guides you through the ever-intricate and colorful world of the Serbian heritage art of weaving kilims. We will discuss kilim history, traditions, and how they are made, look into patterns and motifs and their meanings, and learn about the preservation process of this masterful yet dying craft.
For centuries, kilim carpets decorated royal palaces throughout Europe and played a big role in every Serbian household. Closely related to Persian carpets, kilims showcase an equally intricate array of color and ornaments, each carefully woven with purpose and meaning. Let us explore the endless possibilities of this truly magnificent textile. Through awareness we pass down knowledge and thus keep intangible crafts and textiles from being forgotten.
