Abstract
This presentation summarises two and half year of research as part of TEX-KR, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action – European Union Project project. TEX-KR investigates textiles and dress as cultural practices, heritage and production in Cambodia from the early 1970s to the early 1980s, especially examining the years of the Khmer Rouge regime. This project centred around two Cambodian institutions: the National Museum of Cambodia and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. In the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge regime, three-quarters of the textiles from the National Museum of Cambodia’s collection, all of them acquired in the first half of the twentieth century, were missing and most likely looted. On the other hand, the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum was established on the secret Khmer Rouge prison and torture centre S-21, in which about 18,000 prisoners died. Approximately three thousand garments and textile fragments belonging to the victims were found after the regime’s collapse and were recently reintegrated into the museum’s archive. The paper will explore how these two textile and clothing collections – one lost, one found – are by-products of the Khmer Rouge atrocities and inform the cultural, social and artistic damages of this traumatic period for Cambodia and Cambodian people.

Henover 4 * 2 sammenhængende dage i efteråret bliver det nu muligt på Køng Museums Væve- og Spindeskole at deltage i et kursus i billedvævning, udført i klassiske gobelinteknikker med brug af væveramme og gobelinpinde.
Forudgående kendskab til nogen form for vævning er ikke nødvendigt for at kunne deltage. Kurset giver mulighed for fordybelse, og har man lyst til at arbejde med garn og farver, så er her meget at lære.

Underviser Ulrikka Mokdad er en stor kapacitet, der underviser med smittende begejstring. Hun er en anerkendt kunstner i gobelinvævning, der har udstillet mange forskellige steder herhjemme og i udlandet. Hvert år deltager hun i sommerudstillingen på Madsnedøfortet i Vordingborg.

Indholdet for de enkelte gange vil være nogenlunde som nedenstående:
Lørdag d. 31 august + søndag d. 1 september 2024
Vi begynder med at sætte væverammerne op sammen med kursisterne. Kursisterne introduceres derefter til brug af gobelinpinde og til de enkleste gobelinteknikker.

Torsdag d. 19 + fredag d. 20 september 2024
Kursisterne undervises i nogle af de lidt sværere teknikker. Der trænes i brug af gobelinpindene.

Fredag d. 26 + lørdag d. 27 oktober 2024
Kursisterne medbringer en lille tegning med et enkelt motiv, som de skal forsøge at væve med de teknikker de har lært på kursus og med brug af gobelinpindene.

Fredag d. 16 + søndag d. 17 november 2024
Kursisterne kan lære nogle af de mere komplicerede ”frie” teknikker såsom flyvende nål, soumak, reliefvirkninger og lign. Der kan også sættes op i en tyndere og finere kvalitet, hvis man ønsker at væve miniaturetekstiler.

Praktiske oplysninger:
Medbring egen væveramme, hvis du har en. Det er også muligt at låne, men skal aftales med underviseren inden 1. mødegang.

Medbring varme indesko, da vi skifter fodtøj i gangen. Tag desuden gerne en varm trøje og tykke sokker med, da husets temperatur kan variere noget.

Der vil være mulighed for kaffe, te og vand, men anden forplejning klarer man selv. – Der ligger en Rema 1000 lige i nærheden.

Der er mulighed for at parkere enten ved egnshuset i Køng eller ved Køng Museum.
