STING - traveling exhibition

STING - traveling exhibition

In this traveling exhibition, we travel back 200 years. It all started in Øyslebø with a discovery in a coffin, a discovery of a blue sweater. The journey ended with a reconstructed men's national costume. Learn more about quality, good craftsmanship and how to fix your clothes! Sting will be in most libraries in Agder during 2023, 2024 and 2025. It is about the reconstruction of the new men's costume in Vest-Agder. This is a historical look back at costume tradition and craftsmanship. Action-based knowledge is learned through imitation combined with testing and personal experience from one generation to the next. It is this knowledge that has made it possible to reconstruct the national costume. Do we take that responsibility and teach the young people this knowledge that has been important to us? Agder County Council/Culture, Sports and Volunteering, Vestagder Husflid AS and the Norwegian Handicrafts Association have collaborated on the exhibition.
