Icherisheher: The Garabagh Revival Fund has been announced as the official partner of the upcoming International Carpet Festival, which is scheduled to take place on May 2-3 in Icherisheher. The festival, a significant cultural event in Azerbaijan, promises to bring together thousands of local residents and international tourists, serving as a vital platform for showcasing the nation’s rich cultural heritage.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the Garabagh Revival Fund will be represented by an interactive stand at the Gala Square during the festival. This presents a unique opportunity for the Fund to engage with a broad audience and promote its ongoing restoration and reconstruction projects in the liberated territories under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev. The Fund is committed to raising awareness and fostering a culture of donations and national solidarity, which are pivotal to its mission.
In its efforts to engage festival-goers, the Fund has planned a series of interactive activities. A notable feature will be a specially installed carpet loom, offering a live demonstration of Garabagh’s traditional carpet-weaving techniques. Visitors will have the chance to participate by adding their own knot to a collective Garabagh carpet, symbolizing unity and collective effort in the region’s revival.
Additionally, the Fund’s stand will feature the ‘Pearls of Garabagh’ puzzle game, allowing participants to engage in the restoration of Garabagh’s cultural monuments by assembling their images. High-achieving participants in this educational activity will be eligible for special prizes, further enhancing the interactive experience.
Students from the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Arts will also be present at the stand, creating live artworks inspired by the unique motifs of Garabagh carpets, thereby adding a dynamic creative element to the festival atmosphere. The ecological restoration of Garabagh will also be highlighted, with visitors encouraged to contribute towards the revival of nature in the liberated territories.
Informational materials and monitors will provide visitors with comprehensive insights into the Fund’s activities, the progress of ongoing projects, and future plans, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the Garabagh Revival Fund’s efforts and achievements.
