I have been wanting to tell you all about this for the longest time. I was contacted about this last year, and have held my tongue for almost nine months (no, it's not a beardy baby). So here's the big news: my beards are going to be in a museum!

I know, I know. Who would have thought, right? The exhibit that the beards will be featured in is called "Craftwerk 2.0", in Jönköpings läns museum in Sweden. Here's a little blurb from the Jönköpings läns museum website:

"Craftwerk 2.0 is an exhibition that explores the new “updated” textile crafts that
are developed by a new generation of serious amateurs, innovative craftsmen,
engaged entrepreneurs and political practitioners... Craft and activism merges into craftivism and the politics of the future are shaped hands-on by the kitchen table. This is where micro-utopias are formed through new shared and distributed household tactics. Welcome to Craftwerk 2.0."

Here's a photo of the museum:

Any of you beardos living in Sweden? I wish I was, I'm dying to see this exhibit. It's running from Mid-September through January, so drop by if you're in the area and let me know how it all looks!
