Persian Central Park revives historic traditions while creating economic opportunities where they are desperately needed.
It's a footbridge between East and West, allowing us, through art, to speak languages we don't understand.
LET'S BUILD THAT BRIDGE.

Collaborators
Michaeli's design was sent to a traditional carpet designer in Afghanistan, who copied it, using quality watercolors and papers.
Coping the design on graph paper and coding it into letters is how the carpet-making industry in Afghanistan has worked for centuries. Nowadays, this traditional art is diminishing and the skillful artisans, who spent decades mastering their craft, are unemployed.
Persian Central Park was designed
by Ido Michaeli, a US-based artist of Jewish-Arab descent.
Michaeli holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem and has exhibited extensively in galleries and museums internationally. For the last decade, he's been collaborating with traditional artisans from around the world, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Palestine, India, and China.
These paintings are essentially carpet weaving plans, and are part of another project by Ido Michaeli, revolving around a series of Persian carpets. The paintings are used by Afghan weavers as guides to hand-weave the Central Park carpet series that will be exhibited in a traveling art show.
This collaboration was made possible thanks to a humanitarian organization that is working in Afghanistan. 10% of profits will be donated to this charity.
