Lecture by Lisa Blom, bunad maker at Husfliden. She talks about the reconstruction of the new men's bunad for Vest-Agder in 2021.

"STING" – a performance that takes you on Lisa Blom's inspiring journey as a bunad maker, where she reconstructs a new bunad for Vest-Agder. Through her story, traditional craft techniques are brought to life, a heritage that is in danger of disappearing.

Dancer Tomos Yong explores the bunad's power to shape identity, dancing through the present and into history. In the tailored bunad, he finds not only the freedom to move but also a sense of pride and humility.

Stein Austrund's varied music creates an unforgettable atmosphere with his magical, partially improvised composition specifically for this performance. Three artists unite in a heartfelt collaboration, resulting in a touching story spiced with humor. Immerse yourself in this unique fusion of tradition and innovation. "STING" is an engaging, educational, and enchanting performance – for EVERYONE.

The traveling exhibition STING will be at Flekkefjord Library in March 2025. The exhibition is about the reconstruction of a 200-year-old men's costume. Through a historical look back at costume tradition and craftsmanship, it tells about techniques that are unknown to most people today and about materials that were made to last for generations. STING is also about reuse and sustainability. About how we can slow down our consumption by taking care of what we already have. In this way, we can contribute to a more sustainable society.
