The exhibition "Easting. Felt Chronicle of the Ingush" will take place in Sunzha. It will feature more than a hundred traditional Ingush carpets made from felt. This is a unique opportunity to see ancient craft techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation.
"The exhibition's exposition includes 100 felt carpets reflecting the traditional ornamental art of the Ingush, the features of which are archaism and symbolism",
the gallery "Ingushetia" in Sunzha said.
The authors of the exhibition describe the production of a felt carpet as a laborious and multi-stage process. The procedure involves the selection and preparation of wool, felting, application of patterns, and final processing of the product. Patterns on carpets often contain archaic symbols. Each of them has its own sacred meaning and significance.
Let us note that holding such exhibitions is important for preserving the cultural heritage of the Ingush. Each felt carpet is a kind of keeper of history and traditions, therefore their study and demonstration to the general public help to strengthen interest in national art and craft culture.
