Hunger cloth St Jacobus Church Lonneker

Hunger cloths, that sounds mysterious. What exactly is the function of a hunger cloth? What does it portray? Why have hunger cloths been made and what have they been used for, for over four centuries? The exhibition A Hungry Soul: hunger cloths from the regions of Twente and Münsterland provides a picture of a medieval tradition that is still preserved, on the basis of 6 hunger cloths from the 16th to the 21st century. This teaser gives a first impression of the exhibition.

Ingrid van Bergen coordinated and designed most of the embroidery patterns of the Hunger cloth St Jacobus Church Lonneker
