Boucherouite - Rag Rugs from Morocco
The Douglas Hyde Gallery - Gallery 2
12th November 2010 - 12th January 2011
Opening 11th November 2010, 6 - 7:30pm
The boucherouite is a Moroccan ‘rag rug’ made by hand from all kinds of recycled materials, including plastic, nylon,and lurex. Made for local use, these extraordinary weavings break away from traditional North African conventions of design, texture, and colour; they also raise many intriguing questions about changes in socio-economic conditions and the impact of western culture on traditional societies.
