Krátky popis
A rich and intimate exploration of how women have used textile work
to create meaningful lives, from ancient mythology to our current
moment Psychologist and knitter Nicole Nehrig delves into the
myriad ways that art forms such as knitting, sewing and embroidery
are liberating for women. Spanning continents and centuries, Nehrig
brings together remarkable stories of women, from an
eighteenth-century Quaker boarding school that used embroidered
samplers to teach girls maths and geography to the Quechua weavers
working to preserve and revive Incan traditions today, and from the
Miao women of southern China who pass down their histories in
elaborate “story cloths” to a mid-century British women’s postal
art exchange. Throughout history, textiles have been a way for
women to explore their intellectual capacities, seek economic
independence, create community, process traumas and convey powerful
messages of self-expression and political protest. With Her Own
Hands is a celebration of women who have woven their own stories
and created objects of beauty and significance.
