Projekt

The second stage of the multidisciplinary scientific-educational project aims to focus on the exploration of the potential of the economic and cultural resources of Uzbek textile heritage for Uzbek economy and develop perspectives to make textile heritage sustainable for economy as for culture. The significant intensification of the earlier work concentrates on the directions as follows: to highlight the ways of consuming textile traditions, to study the modern design of traditional textiles and crafts and analyze the different displays of textile heritage, especially textile museums; to complete the construction of the Ikat-textiles Database as an international electronic multimedia edition for scientific, educational and industrial purpose. Another important goal is to contribute to the quality of traditional textile culture through the dissemination and integration of the knowledge about Uzbek textile heritage into textiles disciplines in Uzbek Universities and to create a sustainable network between Uzbek and German university teachers and scientists.
