1947. The Civil War has left a trail of pain, hunger and poverty. Electra, an eleven-years-old girl, just like her surviving brothers and sisters, experiences every day the hostile and tough esparto as a way to make a living together with her family. Her greatest desire, to go to school, is denied to her, and in her mind she weaves dreams while her little fingers craft oil-press hampers, mats which cover hovel thresholds or outlets to rocky courtyards. We introduce life stories related to craftsmanship as a form to find educational meaning in both fields —the way an identity is built and how crafting can be lived as something habitual, something that can be learned and yields a livelihood. We conclude the implications and impulses generated by craftsmanship in Electra concerning her future as a woman.Downloads
