Powerful, poetic and tightly woven: Karin Kalisa brings to life the story of a fisherman’s carpet

 

Museum curator Mia Sund has a nose for old fibres, new names and originality of all types. Not only, because more than a few things have gone wrong in her life. It all changes, when she is asked to work on a Pomeranian fisherman’s carpet for it, reveals a history of such resistant and irrepressible joie de vivre that she cannot help but draw courage from it, even when her life also takes a new turn.
