About the exhibition

A hand-woven Persian carpet holds memory: of the hands that made it, the homes it lived in and the journeys it travelled. For Under the Skin of Carpet, fragments of one carpet were given to fourteen artists, each asked to transform their piece into a new work.

Piece of Home brought those works together, alongside an installation by Sahar Mokhtari, continuing ArtGlow's exploration of memory, transformation and the poetic journey of migration through collaborative art.
