About

ISHKAR presents an exhibition and afternoon in conversation with celebrated British artist and former president of the Royal Academy of Art Sir Christopher Le Brun and his son, ISHKAR co-founder Edmund Le Brun.

This year, the father and son launch their first collaboration, titled ‘Courts and Fields’. A collection of limited-edition, hand-knotted carpets designed by Sir Christopher Le Brun and crafted by artisans in Afghanistan.

Join for the afternoon talk and Q&A with Christopher and Edmund as they discuss the collaboration, working together as father and son, the exquisite craftsmanship, overcoming the challenges of working in Afghanistan in the face of the Taliban takeover, and the ideas behind Christopher’s designs. The event also offers the opportunity to view the pieces in person and enjoy a tour of the artist’s studio.

The event is hosted at Sir Christopher Le Brun’s studio in South London.
