Today we're looking at a hanging in the Aga Khan Museum. We were asked what it is made of. We thought it was silk. It isn't. We were told to look at the back and we saw these little gold pins. The hanging is made of 1.2 million gold and silver pins, all placed by hand. The exhibit Your Way Begins on the Other Side was commissioned by the museum and is the work of Aisha Khalid from Lahore. Her Facebook page has a March 22 post with a video on the piece. Here is the Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/aishakhalid72?fref=photo
