Δ COMBINATION TOUR

With Eva Neukirchner (Ethnologist)

"AND THE BEAT GOES ON...Barkcloth from the Collections of the Weltkulturen Museum"

Textiles made from tree bark have a long tradition in the arts around the world. In Oceania, eighteenth-century European explorers were fascinated by the large panels of barkcloth, often printed or painted with abstract patterns. But producing textiles from the inner bark of trees is also a widespread practice in parts of Africa, in South America and South-east Asia. Eva Neukirchner offers a fascinating insight into this alternative textile production technique, and outlines the significance of barkcloth in everyday life, rituals and art.

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.
