Preliminary work on Hazaras embroidery, motifs and handicraft
by John Gulzari
Introducing Hazaragi Embroidery and Handicraft: A Pioneering Endeavour to Preserve Cultural Heritage.
This book is an essential introduction to Hazaras and Hazaragi embroidery and handicraft, showcasing dozens of patterns, designs, motifs and techniques used by Hazaras for centuries. Unfortunately, discrimination, suppression, and persecution of Hazaras and their cultural heritage have prevented much of this fine work from being recorded or written about. Countless women in Hazaristan have worked tirelessly to preserve and continue this tradition, passing it down from generation to generation. This book is a pioneering endeavour to preserve and promote these valuable pieces of fine handiwork and prevent them from becoming extinct. Let this work inspire future generations to take pride in their cultural heritage, identity, and motifs, which have been passed down to them from their ancestors. The book has been put together with great care and attention to detail, and we hope it will captivate your imagination and interest in Hazaragi embroidery and handicrafts.
