Abstract [en]

As textiles is becoming mass manufactured in large factories the previous personal relationship people have had with textiles is disappearing. With textile waste becoming a bigger environmental issue a shift in attitudes towards textiles is needed. This thesis is made possible through a collaboration with Nordiska Museet (The Nordic Museum) in Stockholm on their coming exhibition Nordic Wool and Linen. The exhibition will provide an historic reflection over the production of textiles and how it has been brought into today. The object of inquire is the Nordic tradition of band weaving with a rigid heddle. Through an explorative process utilizing embodied and authoethnographical practices, intangible values in band weaving have been discovered and brought to life. The thesis presents the design concept Annotated bands as a medium to unmask intangible qualities valued by the weaver to the viewer of the bands. Woven bands are annotated, through text, video or pictures by the weaver, for them to share what they value in their weaving. One aim is that the viewer will feel a deeper connection to weaving and the weaver, starting the process of reshaping the relationship to textiles. As band weaving is fading practices, exposing more people to band weaving is with the intention of spreading the craft. Annotated bands create a unique experience of discovery a hand made textile, exposing more people to its intangible values.
