The workshop ‘What object is this?’ of May 8th, 2021 investigated the blanket
⠀
The blanket is a shelter against many colds, it is an indispensable item in the daily life of almost any society. With it the body is warmed up and in your comfort you lull the sleep that opens up to the dream.
⠀
From a distant point in human history, its making is related to hunting knowledge or weaving knowledge, and it can be made from wool, silk, animal skins, cotton and currently from synthetic fibers.
⠀
From its shelter, a cocoon is made and, in it, as suggested by the themes, traditional saunas made by many peoples throughout Abya Ayala, one returns to the mothers’ wombs.
⠀
For children, it is a toy used to design make-believe huts; among many Bedouin peoples it is, in fact, an element of everyday architecture expressed in tents.

About the MCB Educational
The Educational MCB proposes practices that articulate the look, doing and thinking so that visitors can assume the role of researchers, researching the contents that the museum offers in a contemporary perspective. The idea is to create challenges for participants in educational activities to raise questions from their own experiences and discover new meanings by relating the visit to the MCB with their lives.
