General note |
“A land that seemed forgotten by time, rich with ancient traditions—a vibrant culture almost unknown to the West—this was Afghanistan in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. Weaving destiny captures the unique dream lived by Ira & Syliva Seret as they worked in Afghanistan during this era. It began in 1968 with Ira’s fateful journey as an untraveled 25 years old, working for designers at the epicenter of New York’s pop art-hippie sub-cultures. He returned with Afghan textiles that would shape the aesthetic of those freewheeling times…”—book cover. |
