"Order and Disorder" looks at the cross-cultural context and
collaborative nature of Aligheiero Boetti's iconic artworks. The
original, often large-scale works in his series Mappe (Maps), Tutto
(Everything), and "squared word" were created in needle and thread
by women in Afghanistan and in Pakistani refugee camps following
the Soviet invasion in 1979, under the direction of Boetti
(1940-1994).
Photographs of the artworks and of Afghan women embroidering
them are accompanied by examples of embroidered garments and
textiles made by Afghanistan's diverse peoples. Such items reveal
the country's complex demography and illustrate the kinds of
embroideries that were widely traded during the years that Boetti
visited.
