Carved spoons from Somalia – Veistetyt lusikat Somaliasta
Nämä kaiverretut lusikat ovat peräisin Somaliasta Afrikasta. Ne on valmistettu paikallisista materiaaleista ja ne on tehty kestämään pitkään. Somalialaiset miehet kaivertavat lusikoita (joita joskus kutsutaan myös nimellä fandal tai qaado) tavallisesti xagar-nimisestä kasvista, ja ne tunnetaan erityisesti monimutkaisista geometrisista kuvioistaan. Sen lisäksi että lusikat ovat kauniita jokapäiväisiä esineitä, ne on tuotettu ympäristöä säästäen. Kun sinä ostat jotain uutta, mitä erityisesti haet ostamassasi tuotteessa?

In Romani – the spoons made us think about a Roma group called Lingurari (spoon makers), who used to make a living out of carving spoons and other everyday objects. We talked about the past and present of the Lingurari group, and the way they used to make a living through their wood carving. The group is still known as Lingurari even though the trades are being lost. A lot of Roma groups are still known by their trade name this way.
In the audio, a mum is telling her kids about the tradition.
