Swatantri 17 to 20 July 2017 Legnano – Milano - Italy Astari G. Swatantri I’m Astari G. Swatantri, an award winning metal clay artist with more than 10 years experience of working with metal clay. I’m passionate about metal clay and sharing it with others. Metal clay is a versatile material which keeps me exploring the possibilities to combine it with different art, craft and jewelry techniques and materials. I’m always up for the most recent development and I’ve followed metal clay trainings worldwide, the newest was Silver Quilling certification in Japan in 2016. As a metal clay artist I’ve received several awards for my jewelry, one of the highlights was the Grand Prix of Silver Accessories Contest in 2013. I love meeting other metal clay enthusiasts and share the passions for metal clay! Prizes 2013 Silver Accessories Contest ‘Coral’ Grand Prix Award of Minister’s encouragement at the Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology 2012 Pearl Contest ‘Between the Sky & the Sea’ Award of Selected Work 2008 Silver Accessories Contest ‘Secret Garden’ Semi Grand Prix Award of The Japan Association for Leisure and Culture Development 2007 Silver Accessories Contest ‘Inner Evolution’ Honorable Mention 2007 Art Clay Silver Photo Contest (Silver door chain decoration) Honorable Mention 2006 Art Clay Silver Photo Contest ‘Chappy’ (Silver name card holder) Honorable Mention 新木目金 NEW MOKUME-GANE Developed and presented by Aida Chemical Industries Co.,Ltd. New Mokume Gane is a totally new application designed for Art Clay Silver and Copper based on traditional Japanese metalsmith techniques back in the 1600s in Japan for sword fittings. Mokume means Wood pattern. Gane is metal alloy made from mixed-metal laminate with distinctive layered patterns. To achieve high quality Mokume-Gane by traditional way, it requires adequate experiences, tremendous time for making process, and many special equipments. The technique has been inherited by only limited craftsperson, and its beauty is applied into today’s craft work and jewelry in Japan and overseas with high reputation. What is Mokume-Gane ? Mokume-Gane is a special metal working technique which originally developed from Guri Bori designs for sword guards made by Denbei Shoami (1651–1728) back 400 years ago in Akita Prefecture, Edo period, Japan. Guri originally represented a type of carved lacquer work designs of clouds with alternating layers of red and black. Bori means carving. Mokume-gane is a technique of using different color metals to create wood grain-like patterns, so it is also known as Tagayasan Ji (metal) due to the similar grain pattern of Tagayasan wood (English name: Cassia si- amea). However, to create Mokume-Gane by fusing and hammering different types of metals requires very high skill, so it is known to be not easily acquired. Quotes about the New Mokume-Gane from the point of view of traditional jewelry making “I was deeply convinced that a new tradition has began when I see curriculum projects which presented techniques utilizing clay, some of which cannot be imagined in original Mokume-Gane metal-smithing tech- niques. I hope more new techniques will spread to the world from Japan through New Mokume- Gane.” Minoru Miki (Research and Development Supervisor) Jewellery Designer – 2001-2008 Chairman of the Japan Jewelry Designers Association – President of MIKI-STUDIO. “Tradition has met a new material, and the range of Jewelry design possibilities for everyone will be significantly broadened.” Yosuke Inoue (Technical advisor) Metal Craft Artist – Member of Japan Jewelry Designers Association (JJDA) – Member of the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) – Master of Fine Arts in Metal-smithing & Jewelry Design at Indiana University Graduate School.

  • 1 Embodying History. Evocative and Empathetic Power of Costumes
    Embodying History. Evocative and Empathetic Power of Costumes, Arms and Props in the Palio di Legnano Alessio Francesco Palmieri-Marinoni University of Sussex Dr. Elena Settimini University of Leicester Abstract Recently, numerous local communities in Legnano (Italy) have been involved in defining and planning the forthcoming “Museo del Palio di Legnano”. Through a project of co-production, citizens have been asked to share their knowledge with heritage and museum professionals, as well as to ponder on the protection and enhancement of their cultural heritage. In particular, they have worked on the articulation of their personal and collective memories through the analysis of specific objects like costumes, arms and theatrical props used during the Historical Parade. In this context, objects can be considered as essential tools in staging and embodying identities. Costumes are perceived as a fundamental element in living and performing and infuse the past and its tradition in contemporaneity. Thus, the medieval ‘in style’ costumes can be analysed under different perspectives: they represent the evolution of the idea of ‘embodiment’ and ‘historical authenticity’, as well as the identity of the Palio communities. Content The Palio di Legnano: A Brief History The Historical Parade: Performing Identity Through History Embodiment Towards the Future: Costumes, Jewellery and Arms as Social Tools Why engage local communities in museum practices? Sharing knowledge through museum co-production Conclusions References The Palio di Legnano: A Brief History Legnano is an Italian city located in North-western Italy, close to Milan. From the late twelfth century, it was the summer seat of the archbishops of Milan and a place of refuge for the Milanese noble families and, between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it has been considered as the most important industrial manufacturing centre in Northern Italy - often nicknamed the ‘Manchester of Italy’.
