Miksi tekstiileit\u00e4 pit\u00e4\u00e4 erikseen lobata n\u00e4ytteille? Muinaiset tekstiilit eiv\u00e4t ole esineist\u00f6\u00e4 helpoimmasta p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nMonesti kyse on siit\u00e4, etteiv\u00e4t ne kest\u00e4 esill\u00e4 olemista ja ne on pidett\u00e4v\u00e4 arkistossa esineen s\u00e4ilytt\u00e4miseksi. T\u00e4st\u00e4 on kyse esimerkiksi Maskun paarivaatteen kohdalla. Esillepano koituisi sen kohtaloksi.<\/p>\n
Toinen ongelma liittyy siihen, ett\u00e4 kuntonsa takia ne eiv\u00e4t ole samalla tavalla n\u00e4ytt\u00e4vi\u00e4 kuin esimerkiksi saman ajan metalliesineet. Tekstiilij\u00e4\u00e4nteen n\u00e4kiess\u00e4 voi olla vaikea kuvitella sit\u00e4 millainen se oli kun se oli uusi. Aikansa \u00e4llistytt\u00e4v\u00e4, satoja ty\u00f6tunteja ja erikoisosaamista vaatinut luksusesine n\u00e4ytt\u00e4ytyy nykykatsojalle ruskeana riekaleena.<\/p>\n
T\u00e4ss\u00e4 rekonstruktiot voivat olla avuksi. Maskun tekstiilin kopio tuo tekstiilin nykykatsojan eteen kiilt\u00e4v\u00e4n\u00e4, v\u00e4rikk\u00e4\u00e4\u00e4n\u00e4 ja ehj\u00e4n\u00e4. Se tuo vau-el\u00e4myksen, joka on museok\u00e4vij\u00e4lle helposti avautuva ja ehk\u00e4 mieleenpainuvampi.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\nEnt\u00e4 mink\u00e4 takia tekstiileit\u00e4 pit\u00e4\u00e4 nostaa n\u00e4yttelyihin? Siksi, ett\u00e4 ilman tekstiileit\u00e4 k\u00e4sityksemme menneisyydest\u00e4 j\u00e4\u00e4 vajaaksi. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nNykyihmisen\u00e4 on vaikea todella ymm\u00e4rt\u00e4\u00e4 sit\u00e4, miten paljon aikaa arkip\u00e4iv\u00e4st\u00e4 tekstiilien tuotanto vei. Kuitujen k\u00e4sittely, kehr\u00e4\u00e4minen, kutominen, v\u00e4rj\u00e4\u00e4minen ja ompelu oli osa arkea.<\/p>\n
Samoin tekstiilien k\u00e4ytt\u00f6 oli l\u00e4sn\u00e4 koko ajan:tekstiileit\u00e4 tarvittiin vaatteiksi, nukkumiseen, tavaroiden kuljettamiseen ja moniin arkiseen askareeseen ruuanlaitosta pyllynpyyhint\u00e4\u00e4n.<\/p>\n
Nostamalla tekstiileit\u00e4 esiin nostetaan esiin my\u00f6s historialle v\u00e4h\u00e4lle edustukselle j\u00e4\u00e4vi\u00e4 tai n\u00e4kym\u00e4tt\u00f6miin j\u00e4\u00e4vi\u00e4 naisia, heid\u00e4n osaamistaan ja k\u00e4denj\u00e4lke\u00e4\u00e4n. Naisia, jotka j\u00e4ttiv\u00e4t j\u00e4lkeens\u00e4 vain kasvattamansa lapset ja valmistamansa tekstiilit.<\/p>\n

— ENGLISH ——<\/p>\n
Last weekend, I participated for the first time as an ’independent researcher’ for a scientific seminar.<\/p>\n
I was pleasantly out of my comfort zone speaking in a seminar in a field that is not officially my own. Even though I have come to realise that over the years I have been dedicating my time to this hobby that I probably know more about it than what I have my masters degree in.<\/p>\n
I really enjoyed participating in the seminar. In our presentation with Mervi Pasanen and Krista Vajanto we told the story of the Masku wool intarsia and presented the experiences and research results of the project. It was nice to get so much feedback and feel like we have provoked interest.<\/p>\n
I had the pleasure to listen to several interesting presentations, several of which were on textiles.<\/p>\n
Ones that seem to have stuck with me most were Tudor Tailor’s Jane Malcolm-Davies”\u2122 presentation on early modern knitting, Riina Rammo”\u2122s presentation on the Rabivere jacket”\u2122s biography and Katja Regevik & Krista Vajanto”\u2122s presentation on the Snartemo tablet woven bands (that have recently been the topic of much discussion).<\/p>\n
The Object Biographies seminar focused on stories items. In the case of textiles, the stories of the objects seemed to follow a common pattern: after the discovery they may have been displayed (or may not) then stored in the archives, then taken out of the archives, re-examined and finally displayed.<\/p>\n
This process of rediscovering something from the archives and lifting an item into public consciousness has often required the dedication and contribution from a person interested in textiles. ”\u009dWhy did the clothing items become a part of the exhibit in the Estonian national museum?”\u009d, someone asked Riina Rammo after her talk. With a smile and a small laugh, Riina said, ”Probably because of me.”<\/p>\n
Why do textiles require special efforts to be displayed? One reason is that ancient textiles are not the easiest items to display.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nOften it is a case of preservation versus display. Being displayed has its toll on an item – especially so with textiles – so the objects are kept in the archives to preserve them. This is the case with the original Masku intarsia. Displaying it would destroy the item.<\/p>\n
Another issue is that, due to their condition, textiles are often not as spectacular looking as for example, metal objects of the same age. Looking at an ancient textile, it may be difficult to imagine and ”\u009dsee”\u009d what it was like when it was new.<\/p>\n
The astounding skill the overwhelming hours of work and the special expertise required for making and item can be lost to the eye and all the modern museum visitor sees is a brown-tinted piece of fabric.<\/p>\n
Here reconstructions can be helpful. The Masku intarsia replica shows the textile to the contemporary viewer in it”\u2122s (almost) full glory: shiny silver and deep colours. It gives a certain wow-experience which is easier for modern day museum visitors to see and experiece.<\/p>\n
And why should textiles be exhibited? Because if we overlook textiles, our view of the past will be lacking a lot.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nAs a modern person, it is difficult to really understand how much textile production was a part of everyday life. Acquiring and processing the materials, spinning, weaving, dyeing and sewing were part of everyday life. Production was not as invisble and distant then.<\/p>\n
Likewise, the use of textiles was present all the time: textiles were needed for clothes, sleeping, transporting goods and many everyday chores from cooking to using the toilet. By rediscovering and displaying textiles, we also provide presentation to the women who are often invisible to history.<\/p>\n
We present the skills and labour of the women whose heritage was only the children they raised and the textiles they produced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Viikonloppuna osallistuin ensimm\u00e4ist\u00e4 kertaa ”\u2122itsen\u00e4isen\u00e4 tutkijana”\u2122 tieteelliseen seminaariin esinetutkimuksen alalla. Oli kutkuttavasti ep\u00e4mukavuusalueella olemista olla puhumassa seminaarissa alalla joka ei ole se oma, yliopistolla opiskeltu ala. On her\u00e4ttelev\u00e4\u00e4 havaita, ett\u00e4 oikeastaan olen vuosien saatossa paneutunut t\u00e4h\u00e4n harrastukseen niin intohimoisesti ett\u00e4 tied\u00e4n siit\u00e4 varmasti enemm\u00e4n kuin alasta, jolta maisterinpaperit on.
