Diese geschnitzten Löffel stammen aus Somalia in Afrika und wurden aus lokalen, langlebigen Materialien gefertigt. Somalische Männer schnitzen diese Löffel (auch Fandal oder Qaado genannt) typischerweise aus einer Pflanze namens Xagar. Sie sind für ihre komplizierten kunstvollen, geometrischen Muster bekannt. Dabei sind sie nicht nur schöne Alltagsgegenstände, sondern werden aus nachhaltiger Produktion hergestellt.

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.
