Trådspinning-session

Textilkonstnären Hanna Norrna är på plats i utställningen Morus och spinner tråd av hemodlade silkeskokonger.

Morus is an international silk community, practicing home-sericulture – meaning the breeding of silk worms in a small scale in one’s home – in order to engage local communities in historical processes regarding future silk production. The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the intertwined relationships between silkworms, mulberry trees and humans, as well as to ask questions about these relationships from artistic, social, ecological and ethical perspectives.

The exhibition Morus in Super-Ö presents artworks and research by seven members of the community. The room is filled with stories from women in silk processes – industrial, private, ceremonial, mythological – in the past, today and for the future.
