A book to carry
Workshop by Nitja and Guttormsgaards arkiv
What does a book carry with it? Who does it belong to, and how does it move between hands, places and times?
In this workshop, children and adults are invited to make their own books. Using simple techniques, we will fold, stitch and shape books in different sizes and formats. These books can be worn close to the body like an amulet, filled with drawings, secrets and stories, or become the beginning of something that has not yet found its language.
The workshop grows out of artist Robel Temesgen’s work with Book of Enoch, an apocryphal manuscript stolen from Ethiopia in the eighteenth century and now held in European collections. Recreated on Temesgen’s initiative as a goatskin book, it opens up questions of restitution, belonging, and how knowledge survives and moves.
The workshop is open to all and requires no prior experience.
