Moroccan Rugs

In Morocco every carpet tells a tale. From the monochromatic Beni Ourains to the intricate Zemmour Kilims, the country's weavings are both a narrative art form and a necessity against the elements.

These rugs are handmade by Berber tribes across the Atlas Mountains, usually by women. While some document a personal experience, others carry a more ancestral message passed down over time. The life rituals of Berber women, including fertility, birth, and the protective role of men, are driving narratives.
