With Matthias Claudius Hofmann (research assistant, Weltkulturen Museum)Δ THEME RELATED GUIDED TOUR“The material of myths: Sacred robes and textile cosmogonies”
With Matthias Claudius Hofmann (research assistant, Weltkulturen Museum)In all societies, threads, cords and textiles are crucially important culturally. This is particularly evident in myths and legends where textiles or the tools to produce them explain the origins of the world or, for instance, the nature of society. This tour looks specifically at the connection between textiles and their myths in the exhibition THE COMMON THREAD.

∇ THEME RELATED GUIDED TOUR
“Weaving, crocheting, and knitting … a man’s or woman’s realm?”
With Berit Mohr (Costume designer and cultural scholar)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.
