Jamila Hajisamedzadeh

Being a specialist on artistic embroidery, Jamila was born in Sheki.

She is a culturologist by occupation and has specialised in the surrounding of painter and sculptors.

She worked as a junior scientific worker at Sheki Regional Scientific Centre of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS):

"Under the supervision of honoured architect Nargiz Askerzadeh, I studied national ornaments one by one. At present, I'm engaged in sewing national costumes in real sizes and for dolls. I make dolls myself as well. Each of the ornaments that I depict on garments is a single symbol. "

Having a date designated as a National Dress day in Azerbaijan – this is the biggest desire of Jamila:

“From kids to grown-ups everyone would go around in a traditional dress whole day on such a holiday. We must not forget our history and should be proud of every aspect of national culture, and we have to appreciate it.”

"Having a lack of attention was not only toward clothes but also toward folk artists in Azerbaijan previously.

Owing to ABAD, this approach has changed a lot. This project will contribute to the development of tourism as well as will take care of artisans. I have repeatedly observed that tourists are looking for local souvenirs and trying to avoid Chinese products. I already have the right address to direct them. The right direction is - ABAD! ".
