Tora Bora from War Rug
The Battle Ground Project at the Textile Museum of Canada, 55 Centre Avenue, Toronto.
Opening: April 23, 6:30pm
Max Allen has curated three exhibitions in all: Battleground: War Rugs from Afghanistan, The Kandahar Journals of Richard Johnson and Patches: Military Uniform Insignia
Sarah Quinton, a curator at the Textile museum, told me about this show a few weeks ago, so I got idiotically excited and sent her a link to where I claimed to have written a post about war rugs. Of course I did no such thing. I started by writing a post about the writer Ryszard Kapuscinski that meandered into the subject of war rugs. (I like to pretend that posting pictures is equivalent to essay writing.)

According to their site, the show runs until Jan 27, 2009.
Bill's posts with a few more links: here and here.
I had Bill's links in the original post that I linked to in the links from this post plus the war rug link links from Rugs of War, to another link (we are so embedded with the references on digitalmediatree) but I never noticed his post of the very same WTC rug.
ive been posting on war rugs for a while. here are some links :
here, here, here, here, and here.
youll find wtc rugs included in there.
the nyt has been covering them for a while too. some of the links are not pay to view. i used to see them in the 80's in nyc on lafayette street in a big mid eastern carpet loft by the old tower records store.
