Exhibition on the cotton industry as the subject of a globally shared history. The theme leads back to the time of Anna Göldi and into the issue of human rights.

Based on a series of headscarves that were produced in Glarus for the African trade until the 1960s, textile production is thematized as a cultural practice and the subject of a history that has been shared worldwide since the 18th century.

As a participatory and inclusive place of social dialogue, the question of the extent to which it is possible to keep the textile knowledge associated with this history alive as a shared cultural heritage in today's migration society and at the same time provide food for thought that contributes to a decolonization of the culture of remembrance in Switzerland is of particular interest.

Guided tours for groups are possible all year round by appointment.
