During the guided theater tour of the exhibition “Silk Ribbon: Capital, Art & Crisis,” you’ll meet Elsbeth, a silk ribbon weaver from the Föiflibertal valley. She’ll take you on a journey through the Basel region of the 1930s and 1940s. The trimmings maker shares stories from her daily life at the loom: Who brought silk to the countryside, what career opportunities were available to young people back then, and what chores did children have to do?
