    ist ein eingetragener Verein, der 2002 von einer kleinen Gruppe von Deutschen und Afghanen aus Freiburg gegründet wurde. Im Rahmen dieses Vereins betreut  Pascale GOLDENBERG seit 2004 das Stickprojekt in Laghmani (nördlich von Kabul) und seit 2011 das Hazara-Stickprojekt bei Herat (Westafghanistan). Die Frauen sticken mit der Hand Unikate, die vom Verein und durch Pascale Goldenberg in Europa verkauft werden; dadurch tragen die Stickerinnen konkret zur Verbesserung der finanziellen Lage der Familie bei. Im Zusammenhang mit  diesen Stickereien wurden schon zwei europäische Wettbewerbe durchgefuhrt, bei denen die Europaer die Stickereien als „Keimling“ ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit betrachteten und  einbezogen: « Fäden verbinden Frauen »  (2007-2008) und « Afghanistan-Inspiration » (2010-2012). -

  • April 2 to 7, 2013, A TSA STUDY TOUR : Textiles of the Lowcountry: Charleston and Savannah, Collecting, Preserving, and Narrating.
    Join TSA on a unique study tour of the Lowcountry, a 200-mile stretch of coastal South Carolina and Georgia between Charleston and Savannah, a region shaped by cotton production. The tour revisits myths of the Southern Lady and her delicate needlework juxtaposed to the unskilled slaves’ crude products. From chintz appliqué quilts to seagrass baskets, we will learn about the fine handwork of southern women preserved in Lowcountry museums and private collections.
    Tour leader Jessica Smith, an artist/designer living and working in Savannah and a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design, has arranged special textile-focused visits to historic sites to be augmented by conversations with specially invited researchers, curators and artists.  Studio visits and a panel discussion at the Savannah College of Art and Design Museum of Art will wrap up our tour on the last night.

  • Closure of sampler Museum at Celle, Germany: one may reed the following statement in the blog "needleprint" by Jacqueline Holdsworth: "... book your tickets to Celle and see the fabulous sampler museum there before the doors close finally on 1 March 2013. This is an unspeakably sad occasion. Lorraine Mootz who has been Docent with the museum for a number of years tells me: Until Thursday before Christmas, there were plans that the Sampler Museum (along with two other smaller Celle museums) would be relocated in another large historic building on the outskirts of Celle's Old Town.
    Unfortunately in a last-minute change due to the necessity of large budget cuts, the financing of the project was suprisingly rejected by the Celle city council. That was done during a 5-hour meeting on December 20st. The reduced number of visitors to the museum played a part in their decision. In the two years during which the Bomann Museum has run the Sampler Museum, there has been little activity on the public relations front. Some people even thought the museum was closed which it most certainly was not. In case you know of anyone who wants to make a quick last-minute visit to the Sampler Museum, it is open normally in January and February, that is, the museum is closed on Mondays and Fridays but open the other five days of the week from 10am until 5pm. It is closed for a short lunch break from 1-1:30.
    I am informed that Mrs Conneman no longer has a say in what happens to the collection - it is down to the city council. No-one knows at present what exactly will happen to the collection. Given the very difficult financial times, there is no blame or anger to be expressed - but concerned, helpful, positive emails can be sent to The Mayor of Celle -
    oberbuergermeister@celle.de and the local newspaper in Celle - redaktion@cellesche-zeitung.de It would be very helpful if you could contribute an email. Wonders and miracles do happen! "
