Guatemalan Textiles Today

Het rijke erfgoed van gevarieerde en kleurrijke textielkunsten - weven, borduren, lussen, haken - in Guatemala is nu, door middel van dit boek, toegankelijk voor de wever van vandaag. De auteur, een professionele fotografe en schrijfster, heeft vele jaren in Midden-Amerika doorgebracht met het verzamelen van materiaal en het documenteren van de verschillende soorten stoffen die momenteel worden gemaakt. Het boek laat de mannen en vrouwen aan het werk zien die geweven kledingstukken en lappen stof maken, hun weefgetouwen en weefopstellingen en hun materialen. Er wordt speciale nadruk gelegd op de specifieke technieken die worden gebruikt om verschillende soorten stoffen te weven, met name aanvullende inslagpatronen, die lange tijd als de beste prestatie van de Guatemalteekse wevers werden beschouwd. Na een kort overzicht van de oorsprong en geschiedenis van het weven in Guatemala, bespreekt de auteur de achtergrond van het ambacht vandaag de dag, de levensstijl van de wever, het traditionele gebruik van het textiel en recente weeftrends. Het volgende hoofdstuk beschrijft de verschillende vezels die gebruikt worden in de textielproductie: hoe ze gesponnen en geverfd worden en welke soorten weefgetouwen en weefapparatuur gebruikt worden. De verschillende benaderingen van het weven in Guatemala worden beschreven en vergeleken in een lang hoofdstuk over het weven met de rugband (waaronder technieken die gebruikt worden in patroonweven, brokaat en gaas). Een hoofdstuk over weven op weefgetouwen toont de uitrusting en weeftechnieken voor onder andere platbinding, tapisserie en jacquardweven. De auteur beschrijft ook lussen, borduren, breien en haken voor het maken van tassen en netten. De conclusie beschrijft nieuwe richtingen in het weven in Guatemala. Het boek geeft zowel de glorie van de geproduceerde stoffen weer als een portret van het geduld, de vaardigheid en de veeleisende eisen van het weefambacht.

African Textiles Today illustrates how African history is read, told, and recorded in cloth. All artifacts or works of art hold within them stories that range far beyond the time of their creation or the lifetime of their creator, and African textiles are patterned with these hidden histories. In Africa, cloth may be used to memorialize or commemorate something - an event, a person, a political cause - which in other parts of the world might be written down in detail or recorded by a plaque or monument. History in Africa can be read, told, and recorded in cloth. Making and trading numerous types of cloth have been vital elements in African life and culture for at least two millennia, linking different parts of the continent with each other and the rest of the world. Africa's long engagement with the peoples of the Mediterranean and the islands of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans provides a story of change and continuity. African Textiles Today shows how ideas, techniques, materials, and markets have adapted and flourished, and how the dynamic traditions in African textiles have provided inspiration for the continent's foremost contemporary artists and photographers. With a concluding chapter discussing the impact of African designs across the world, the book offers a fascinating insight into the living history of Africa.
