\u201cV\u00e1rzea de Calde: Uma Aldeia Tecida a Linho\u201d is a 248-page book, written in Portuguese and English, which describes in great detail the relationship between the community of V\u00e1rzea de Calde and the ancestral tradition of sowing, processing, spinning and weaving flax.<\/p>\n

The work is the result of a long three-year period of ethnographic research in the village of V\u00e1rzea de Calde, carried out by the Binaural Nodar association in close collaboration with the Casa de Lavoura e Oficina do Linho \u2013 Museu Etnogr\u00e1fico de V\u00e1rzea de Calde (Museus de Viseu), the Calde Parish Council and the Cooperativa do Linho de V\u00e1rzea de Calde.<\/p>\n

During the three years of research, more than 50 hours of supporting sound and audiovisual recordings were made (recordings of the flax processing stages, interviews with weavers and other residents, audiovisual landscapes, etc.), which are part of the Viseu Rural 2.0 project, co-financed by the Municipality of Viseu, the European Commission (Creative Europe programme \u2013 R\u00e9seau Tramontana project) and the Direc\u00e7\u00e3o-Geral das Artes, and are available at www.viseururalmedia.org<\/p>\n

The book is available for sale at the Casa de Lavoura e Oficina do Linho \u2013 Museu Etnogr\u00e1fico de V\u00e1rzea de Calde or through Binaural Nodar.<\/p>\n

Our heartfelt thanks to all those present.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t
