Baku Steel Company CJSC presented an exposition at the
III International Carpet Festival, held on 1–3 May 2026, bringing
together the industrial aesthetics of steel, contemporary art and
motifs of national heritage.
The festival was organised by “Azerkhalcha” OJSC and the
“Icherisheher” State Historical-Architectural Reserve
Administration with the support of the Ministry of Economy of the
Republic of Azerbaijan and the Export and Investment Promotion
Agency – AZPROMO. Baku Steel Company CJSC (hereinafter – BSC) acted
as a partner of the event.
This year, the international geography of the festival expanded.
Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Nepal and Mexico joined last year’s
participants – Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia, Iran, Pakistan,
Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Georgia.
As a partner of the festival, BSC also supported the event by
presenting works created within the framework of the “Baku Steel
Art” International Metal Symposiums: “Movement in a Limited Space”
by Romanian sculptor Petre Virgiliu Mogosanu, “Discipline Is the
Result of Transformation” by Azerbaijani sculptor Teymur Garibov,
“Flow of Silence” by Leyla Gabulova and “No Water, No Life” by
Gursel Alamshahov.
A particular highlight was the installation “Steel Knots”,
created especially for the festival: a puzzle-like composition
inspired by the Garabagh group of the art of Azerbaijani carpet
weaving, set within a structure made of rebar, which combined
traditional ornamentation with the industrial aesthetic of
steel.
BSC’s participation in the International Carpet Festival
reflects the importance the company attaches to socio-cultural
projects, as well as its consistent efforts to bring together
industry and art through the “Baku Steel Art” platform. The project
highlights the company’s contribution to popularising Azerbaijan’s
cultural heritage and promoting it internationally.
