What is your background and how did you get started in the rug business? I was born in Persia and I have always loved rugs. Where I’m from, rugs are everywhere. Whether rich or poor, most families have oriental rugs in their homes. Rugs, in a way, are in my blood. As a child, my father always told us that before we settle into a career that it was very important for us to get an education. He told us that after we got an education, we should pursue a career in something that we love to wake up every morning to do. I listened to my father, got a PhD in Economics and have been doing rugs ever since. Although my career is in rugs, I have never regretted getting my PhD. Can you explain what exactly an orien- tal rug is? An oriental rug is simply a hand-knotted photo by rug with tile that is made anywhere in KASSIDY LANKFORD Asia.

  • Animation Guild Members Turned out for the Annual May Day March in Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, March 1
    ANIMATION GUILD AND AFFILIATED ELECTRONIC AND GRAPHIC ARTS Los Angeles, California, May 2021 Vol. 50, No5 Animation Guild members turned out for the annual May Day March in Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, March 1. The theme for this year’s march was “The Work Continues/La Lucha Sigue,” focusing on lifting up the rights of immigrants and workers, and fi ghting against anti-Asian hate. Instead of taking place in MacArthur Park, as it has in years past, this year’s event was a hybrid of march and caravan, starting in Chinatown at the Los Angeles State Historic Park, then moving through Olvera Street to Little Tokyo and ending at the steps of City Hall. Many in the TAG delegation made signs for the event and joined with members of other IATSE Locals, as well as community groups and orga- nizations.
