ÖSTGÖTALIN - a residence, a flax association, a material of the future

The book ÖSTGÖTALIN a residence, a flax association a material of the future presents the flax residency that was arranged by Hemslöjden in Östergötland during 2021 – 2022. The purpose of the residency was to stimulate innovation by allowing knowledge and cultural heritage to meet new professions across cultural and generational boundaries.

The situation of the line today is described through different voices and contexts and touches on areas such as industry, sustainable development, innovation, arts and crafts.

Come with us to the cable car station in Broddebo, south of Åtvidaberg, and take part in knowledge and history that is highly relevant today.
