Day one - culture heritage safari
The Blekinge Archive, Bräkne-Hoby
We started at the Blekinge Archive in Bräkne-Hoby where we got to see some interesting items, such as the diary from the 1850's belonging to a fiddler, a document from the 1400's, objects that have been used among worker unions and the old village councils dating back to the 17th century.
It was an interesting mix discussing storytelling in culture history, but also storytelling in itself in and archive.

The surroundings tell their stories
Less than a km from the archive there is a cemetery that was built outside the village for a reason. In 1711 more than half of the inhabitants of Sweden died in the plague.
Here we told and sang stories about death.
We also visited Röaby, the small village by a lake where one important tradition carrier, Ingrid Isaksson, lived during the first half of the 20th century.
