More Than Just a Rug

Afghan war rugs first appeared in the late 1970s during the Soviet invasion. Traditional weavers began adding images of war like tanks and rifles into their rugs, turning them into powerful records of conflict. Over time, these rugs evolved into symbols of memory, resistance, and identity, preserving the story of Afghanistan through thread and tradition. After the events of September 11, 2001, Afghan weavers began creating rugs that depicted the Twin Towers, planes, and American flags. These rugs reflect how global events impacted local artists, blending traditional craft with powerful political and emotional symbols.

The 9/11 Rugs

9/11 rugs are handwoven by Afghan artisans using wool and natural dyes. These rugs often feature powerful imagery like the Twin Towers, airplanes, American flags, and dates of the attacks. The designs reflect how global events left a mark on local communities, turning traditional weaving into a visual response to tragedy and history.
