Egypt: The world of rug art
04:57

In a small village called Harraniya, located on the outskirts of Egypt's capital Cairo, a beautiful experiment began decades ago. In 1952, Egyptian architect Ramses Wissa Wassef believed all children are artistic. He wanted to dig deeper into how to trigger their creativity. The result was a unique experiment in tapestry weaving that produced extraordinary works in the Egyptian village. These tapestries have been collected by museums and galleries across the world. Today, the Ramses Wissa Wassef Art Center is a place that empowers Egyptian villagers with stable incomes and provides an opportunity to showcase their talent on global platforms.
