Balkan Folk Costumes
Textiles from the Balkans (Fabric Folios)
Highlighted Features
This is the first time the British Museum's fascinating collection of Balkan textiles, dating from the late 19th to the mid 20th century and one of the finest in the world, will be published. The book is also the first published overview of the textiles from this region, setting the techniques for making them within their historical and geographical context. The author's personal experience in herself collecting many of the pieces in the field allows her to offer completely new insights into the highly decorated textiles produced by the various ethnic, clan and religious groups of the area. The items range from everyday to festive clothing as well as accessories and textiles for the home. The makers employed a wide range of materials and techniques, including a particularly skilful use of couched embroidery and different ways of weaving. The author also explores the elements of garment shape, colour, motif and symbolism. Diane Waller is Professor of Art Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths, University of London, with a background in fine art, art history and ethnography. She is a recognized authority on Balkan textiles. As the recipient of a Leverhulme scholarship in 1972-3, she lived in Skopje and Sofia, where she started to collect Balkan textiles (the majority now in the British Museum's collection). She curated and wrote the accompanying guide to the 'National costumes of the south east Balkans' (1984), was consultant curator to the exhibitions 'Bulgaria: Tradition and Beauty' (Liverpool Museum and touring,1989) and 'Balkan costume from the Waller collection' (Museum of Mankind, British Museum, 1994-5), and has published on Bulgarian traditional costumes.

Voices & Images From Bulgaria
Highlighted Features
More than forty years ago, Martin Koenig embarked on a trip to the Balkans that would transform his life. Armed with a letter of introduction from Margaret Mead, Koenig went to learn more about the Balkan folk dances that he loved. However, his mission changed when he found a society in rapid transition, and he soon felt compelled to document the disappearing agrarian life-style and village culture. In this initial trip and on almost a dozen additional trips made between 1966 and 1987, Koenig worked in villages throughout the different areas of the Balkans filming, recording, and photographing the traditional music, dance, and ceremonies. These historic, black and white and color photographs memorialize a way of village life that has since been transformed by modernization and globalization. Text in English and Bulgarian. Hard cover with dust jacket, 96 pages with 43 stunning black and white photographs, Size: 21 x 28 cm (8.2" x 11"). Texts by: Martin Koenig; Lanny Silverman, Chief Curator, Chicago Cultural Center; Dr. Anna Ilieva, Senior Dance Ethnologist, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. About the author/photographer: Martin Koenig was founder/director of the Balkan Arts Center (later the Ethnic Folk Arts Center, today the Center for Traditional Music and Dance) in New York City. 1966 and 1994, he conducted fieldwork that included audio recording, film and photography in the Balkans, Eastern Europe, the United States, and Canada.
