Barrier-free
In this lecture, Christiane Seufferlein, a flax expert with roots in the Salzkammergut, imparts a great deal of knowledge about the cultivation and care of flax. This means that anyone interested can grow flax themselves at home, regardless of whether they have a windowsill, a balcony, a garden or a whole field at their disposal.
Christiane Seufferlein will also provide insights into her research into the history of flax textiles in Austria and internationally. She presents the project “Berta’s Flax”, in which she collects women’s stories from her adopted home of Mühlviertel in this context.
Drawing a Thread
The former weaving and spinning mill Ebensee is the hub of the project, which addresses the history of the working world of women, role attributions, social achievements and controversies.
