The exhibition Kaitag: Art for life presents 65 specimens of kaitag, embroidered silk fabric produced in Daghestan (North-Eastern Caucasus) by village women, datable between the 17th and 19th centuries.

The exhibition, curated by Dr. Carlo Scaramuzza, a scholar of eastern textile art, in collaboration with the “Cintamani” Association, was organized to give the public an opportunity to see these fascinating and unique works, many of which are on display for the first time ever. Twenty six of the sixty five specimens on display come from the collections of the future MATAM (Museum of Antique Textile Art Milan) and Gallery Moshe Tabibnia.

The results of this research are published on the exhibition catalogue by Silvana Editoriale.
