Textile reading
A sensory journey through the history of textiles in eastern Switzerland
Diana Dengler talks about the time when St. Gallen was at its peak. She slips into various roles, reading from the perspective of workers in one instance and from the perspective of entrepreneurs in another. Embroidery barons also feature in the reading. She sheds light on the past and makes the leap to the present. The reading is sensual and lively, as exciting as a crime novel, as revealing as a biography or a sophisticated historical excursion. Few numbers, lots of life. And fabric samples from Akris, Christian Fischbacher, and Jakob Schlaepfer make the stories tangible.
Whether for a company event, Christmas dinner, or birthday party, Diana Dengler will enchant you and draw you into the spell of a time when St. Gallen was one of the most important exporters in the textile industry.
