World Trade Center Rugs Discussed on PRI’s The World

Yesterday while listening to WNYC, my local NPR station, I heard an interesting story about about Afghanistan seven years after September 11, 2001. The story features an Afghan describing a World Trade Center Rug available on Chicken Street in Kabul.

About Kevin

Kevin Sudeith is an artist and the creator and curator of the war rug collection seen on warrug.com. Beginning as (and remaining) a collector, he began selling war rugs to learn as much as possible about the rugs. Later he sold what he calls "regular rugs" to better study rugs and their historical origins. Sudeith learned how war rugs related to traditional Afghan tribal and workshop rugs as well as the broader Turkmen and Persian rug traditions.
