Baksı Museum aims to support the development of women, young people and children in the region and to contribute to education, occupation and employment. To this end, weaving workshops and ehram workshops were set up beside the museum. On these looms, almost forgotten tradition, ehram, was brought back to life by peasant women and young girls.
A contemporary approach to the study of ehram was aimed to ensure that the women in the region existed in the economic life as an effective producer. Women's employment was supported by converting ehram workshops and cultural heritage into economic added value.
It embraces artists who produce contemporary art. In summer, artists can participate in collective events programmed in various branches of art, as well as perform individual work.
Erzurum, Erzincan, Bayburt Rugs Symposium
One of the important aims of the Baksı Museum is to research, compile and produce the culture that belongs to the region. The rug symposium held in 2011 was organized with the aim of dimensioning our work in this sense and adding traditional techniques and design language to weaving. Experts' presentations on these topics were made into booklets at the end of the symposium.
Bayburt's 2023 Vision
With the participation of Emre Aköz, Müge Akgün, Sefa Kaplan, Nilgün Mirze and Hüsamettin Koçan, the panel held in 2011, the topic "What type of city will Bayburt turn into in the year 2023’s vision" was discussed.
Continuous production-oriented ehram and rug workshops aim to restore lost handicrafts. In the ehram weaving and rug workshops where work continues throughout the year, women in the region are employed. Thanks to these workshops, women who are contributing to the economy can also have a profession at the same time.
Women trainees of Baksı Village, which started to work in the ehram and rug workshops that have been established with projects supported by Sodes and Kudaka, form a model in the region with their production.
The Baksı Culture and Art Foundation also provides support in marketing dimension by enriching traditional ehram weaving with a contemporary design concept. Thus, women in the region are actively involved in economic life as producers.
