Ich habe Serena Newmark kennengelernt, als sie eine bildschöne Hybrid-Bart-Maske (aka #luckhausmask) auf Twitter gepostet hat und wir uns über ihren hübschen Totenkopfstoff unterhalten haben! Später fragte mich Serena, ob ich ihr ein Interview über meine Erfahrungen als Maskenschnitt-Erfinderin geben würde, und sie entpuppte sich als Doktorandin an der FU Berlin mit einem profunden – und super interessanten – Wissen über preußische Möbel des 19. Jahrhunderts in Texas ! Ich fühle mich sehr geehrt, dass Serena meine Hybridmaske bei einem Workshop »Clothing the Pandemic«, vom ICOM International Committee for Museums and Collections of Costume, Fashion and Textile im Rahmen ihres Vortrags zum Thema »The Creation of an Online Art and Design Reference Library: information seeking and sharing among mask makers« am 23. Juni um 15:10 Uhr MEZ vorstellen wird!
»Clothing the Pandemic’ Workshop aims to offer a place for sharing experience and knowledge. It will help to connect people and institutions (international curators and conservators, historians, museums, and the global public) at a time when we are all physically distant from one another. The workshop is seeking to understand how to document the Material Culture of the Pandemic; to develop Strategies and to face Challenges. It will unfold in 2 parts: Part I “Collecting, Researching, Documenting, Displaying” in Spring 2021, Part II “Conservation, Preservation” in Fall 2021.«
Der ganze Workshop klingt wirklich spannend, finde ich, zumindest für mich als Maskenschnitterfinderin und Kostümhistorikerin! Ich denke, die Maskennäher haben nicht nur dazu beigetragen, sich selbst und andere zu schützen, sondern sie haben sogar Geschichte geschrieben?! Ich habe mich gerade registriert (kostenlos :)), um mitzumachen, und ich freue mich schon sehr darauf! Vielleicht möchten auch andere Maskennäher mitmachen?
Serena’s session »will examine the international and spontaneous creation of an open-source, decentralized, online art and design reference library created by volunteers during the era of the Covid-19 pandemic. (…) Blurring the lines between librarian and patron, amateur and professional, stranger and community member, as well as between fashion and industrial design, the Covid-19 Online Art and Design Reference Library provides a welcoming reference presence, helps patrons refine their information needs and break through their information barriers, searches for answers, procures sources, provides references to alternative information sources, and welcomes users to return to ask additional questions or provide feedback. Brought into existence by thousands of individuals across the globe to help others create personal protective equipment and slow community transmission of the novel coronavirus, the Covid-19 Online Art and Design Reference Library utilizes traditionally hosted websites as well as spaces on social media to create forums where makers of protective face masks can learn, teach, and solve problems collectively, as well as exhibit their own work and provide and receive feedback, criticism, and praise on both the aesthetic aspects of their work as well as its medically protective effectiveness. The session will include individual case studies of a few notable patterns and mask creators.«
