The US State Dept has awarded the Institute for Training & Development (ITD) in Amherst, Massachusetts a grant for an exchange with two silk rug weaving and embroidery workshops in Khiva, Uzbekistan.
A delegation of five American fiber arts crafters and one museum professional with curatorial/exhibition design expertise in textiles and/or architectural (historic) museums will travel to Uzbekistan for two weeks this spring - sometime between mid-April and the end of May. ITD is seeking an interested and qualified museum professional to join this group.
Khiva, a small oasis city in southwest Uzbekistan, was designated a museum city during Soviet times because it is one of the most harmonious examples of Islamic architecture in the world.
With the increase of travelers to the Silk Road Cities, the museum director and city administration would like to improve the museum's exhibit presentation and visitor services and are seeking the advice of an experienced museum professional from the west.
Institute for Training and Development (ITD) is a private, non-profit organization that designs international training and internship programs, promoting socio-economic development in developing countries.
