I took this photo last month in Kulob, Tajikistan. This kind of embroidery called Chakan is widespread in this Central Asian country and is part of UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. Maliks, Nizoramo and Sharafnisa learned these splendid, complex handicraft from their mothers and grandmothers and taught it to their daughters. More and more robots, computers and machines will take our jobs, so will these fabuolous handicrafts like Chakan survive? That’s impossible to predict. I personally feel privileged that I can still witness these traditions and share it with you.
