Δ CURATOR’S GUIDED TOUR “THE COMMON THREAD”

With Julia Friedel (curator Africa, Weltkulturen Museum)

Threads, materials and patterns are taken for granted as a natural part of our daily life. Around the world, textile ideas and terms shape our language, narratives, stories and myths. The making of textiles stimulates our spatial and mathematical thinking.
Taking the museum’s textile collections from the Americas, South East Asia, Oceania and Africa as a basis, curator Julia Friedel reflects on and presents the culturally diverse techniques of textile production.

Δ THEME RELATED GUIDED TOUR

"Weaving, crocheting, and knitting … a man’s or woman’s realm?"
with Berit Mohr (Costume designer and cultural scholar)

According to the cliché, working with textiles is gendered female. For many people even today, crocheting and knitting conjure up images of a ’plain Jane’ or ’proper little hausfrau’. So is working with textiles also a site of a constant ‘gender war’? Looking at the world without Eurocentric glasses, it soon becomes clear just how untenable such stereotypes are.
This tour offers a deeper insight into the links between textile production processes, identity and gender roles.
