This is one of the textile pieces I saw at Centre Pompidou in Paris this summer.

| Tutto, 1987 embroidery floss on linen |
In the 1980s, Boetti started a series, of which Tutto is part, and had the embroidery done by Afghani women who arrived in Pakistan as refugees after the Soviet invasion.

| Tutto, detail |
There are 84 colours in this piece and every colour is used in the same amount.
You can see the embroidery stitching. It's very fine.
The following three images show Afghanistan embroidered squares that were integrated in textile art works as part of a European initiative to help Afghanistan women affected by the Afghan war.
