In the context of the exhibition “Amazonian Legacies – Art and Archaeology”

In Amazonia, house roofs are traditionally woven from palm leaves. This is a communal activity. Darwin Grefa, political leader of the Nación Originaria Quijos from the Ecuadorian Amazon, joins us as a guest and invites visitors to take part in this practice. As participants weave a roof together using recycled materials from the museum, the activity creates a space for exchange and dialogue while introducing the traditional weaving techniques of his community.

In Amazonien werden Hausdächer aus Palmblättern geflochten. Dies ist eine gemeinschaftliche Tätigkeit. Darwin Grefa, politischer Anführer der Nación Originaria Quijos aus dem ecuadorianischen Amazonien, ist bei uns zu Gast und lädt Besuchende dazu ein diese Tradition kennenzulernen. Beim gemeinsamen Flechten eines Dachs mit recycelten Materialien des Museums entsteht Raum für Austausch während zugleich die traditionelle Flechttechnik seiner Gemeinschaft vermittelt wird.

Further dates: 31 October, 1 and 8 November 2026, each from 3 to 5 pm.

Weitere Termine: 31. Oktober, 1. und 8. November 2026, jeweils von 15 bis 17 Uhr.
