Hand-Sewn Desire

The communication between kids and dolls is emotional and full of hidden secrets which identify the childhood. Now the children of old age with colorful textiles and hand sewn are the identity of Iran; the identity which was forgetting in the papers of memories but now it’s rising one more time. Baloch women of Tajmir and Naz-dasht villages in south Khorasan Province sew the Dotouk dolls to show it as a native culture of their province and a medium for transferring their cultures to the future. In last years the carbon sequestration international project working with UNDP is overhauling the rural jobs and since 5 years ago the carbon sequestration in south Khorasan province is trying to revive the Dotouk dolls. The Dotouk makers have an story for each Dotouk that write it on a piece of textile and sew it on Dotouk. These Stories are come from their imagination and desires.I have written the story of each doll in the caption for you. Dotouk means the doll in Baloch.
