This blog started in Sep 2010, to capture stories from my home village Höfen in Southern Germany, where I was going to live again for one year. I’m now living back in London, and I keep thinking about what is rural.
With a few women from Höfen we went to see a nearby farm museum yesterday, where a special exhibition of traditional costumes is on display. The curator Mrs. Jauernig also talked about their attempst to develop contemporary costumes for and with communities. Whenever the group is split between Catholics and Protestants it becomes impossible to agree on one outfit – and these scarves from 1860 are a good example for how similar things are done very differently.
