Brixen – Innsbruck
Maria Walcher
cross-section | querSCHNITT
In a VW bus developed for mobile tailoring, Maria Walcher, together with international tailors who are currently living in South Tyrol, set off on their way through the valleys of South Tyrol.
In public squares and at schools, the mobile tailor shop is temporarily set up in order to get in contact with passers-by and pupils through working with textiles.
The tailors share their experience and professional skills as experts with all interested parties. Thus tailoring becomes a stage where dialogues take place and stories develop by doing.querSCHNITT is an art project with the intention to create intercultural exchange in public space through textiles.
The campaign takes up the old tradition of street-craftsmen and deals with mobility and living and working without a fixed location – at the interface of tourism, migration and global economic exchange.
