Sistan and Baluchestan handicraft on display in Mexico
The first-ever Sistan and Baluchestan Province handicraft exhibition, which showcased the exquisite art of needlework, took place at the Los Pinōs Museum in Mexico City, from October 20 to 22.
The exhibition’s opening day was attended by Iran’s Ambassador to Mexico City Alireza Qezili, alongside representatives from the Mexican Ministry of Culture and other prominent cultural figures.
Sistan and Baluchestan Governor Mehdi Karami, who couldn’t attend in person, extended his invitation to the people of Mexico through a video message.
He highlighted the economic potential of the region, particularly in mining, agriculture, and maritime industries, and encouraged Mexican tourists to explore the province’s tourist attractions, with a special emphasis on Shahr-e Sukhte (Burnt City).
For three days, the exhibition featured an impressive display of Sistan and Baluchestan needlework, including various tablecloths, earrings, bracelets, anklets, belts, leather needlework, bags, and both men’s and women’s clothing. It provided a unique opportunity for arts and culture enthusiasts in Mexico to witness the rich heritage and artistic craftsmanship of Iran.
