Motif and place
Bingöl weaving: same geometry, other side
The weaves on the Bingöl side share a geometric language with those on the Dersim side. In the design we do not separate them; we treat them as parts of one cultural geography.
An administrative border is clear on a map. It is not clear in a weave. The same motif turns up on both sides, because weaving travels by proximity — by who lives next to whom, who marries whom, which road the wool takes — not by administrative line.
This is why the collections are organised by drawing language rather than by province. Splitting them along a border would describe the map accurately and the craft badly.
