RO^NA DELA IZ AVSTRALIJE

231
Ro~na dela iz Avstralije, tako smo v Slovenskem etnografskem muzeju poimenovali

terensko raziskavo v Melbournu in v Geelongu v letu 2006, ki je bila del {ir{ega
raziskovalnega projekta muzeja, z nazivom Tradicija ro~nih del – odraz ohranjanja in
spreminjanja slovenske identitete v Avstraliji. Rezultat prvega dela raziskave je spletna
razstava ali spletni arhiv z naslovom Spletni arhiv ro~nih del Slovencev po svetu, ki jo
lahko spremljate na samostojnem spletnem naslovu www.rocnadela.org. Je rezultat
dela in strokovnih prizadevanj treh ustanov, Slovenskega etnografskega muzeja (zanj
mag. Da{a Koprivec, kustodinja za slovenske izseljence in zamejce), Viktorijskega
in{tituta za slovenistiko, Avstralija (zanj prof. Aleksandra Ceferin, direktorica) in Zavoda
Neuropolis iz Ljubljane, ki ima zasluge za oblikovanje in izdelavo samostojne spletne
strani. Raziskavo je v letu 2006 financiral Urad Vlade RS za Slovence v zamejstvu in
po svetu, izdelavo spletne strani pa v letu 2007 Slovenski etnografski muzej iz svojega
rednega programskega financiranja, sicer v okviru Ministrstva za kulturo RS. Pomemben
dele` je prispeval {e Viktorijski in{titut za slovenistiko (v nadaljevanju ISSV), ki je prof.
Aleksandri Ceferin v letih 2006 in 2007 financiral pot iz Melbourna v Ljubljano ter
bivanje pri nas, saj smo v jesenskih mesecih 2006 in 2007 nadaljevali s pomembnim
delom na sami raziskavi ter pri postavljanju in prezentaciji spletnega arhiva. Plodno
sodelovanje pa se je nadaljevalo tudi v letu 2008, tako v Melbournu, kjer je prof.
Ceferin poskrbela za javno predstavitev spletne strani v marcu 2008 v okviru izredno
pomembnega Slovenskega festivala v Melbournu, kot tudi ponovno v Ljubljani jeseni
2008, ~esar rezultat sta nenazadnje tudi pri~ujo~a prispevka v tem Etnologu.

studijsko (posnetke je naredil muzejski fotograf Marko Habi~).
Po temeljitem strokovnem razmisleku smo se odlo~ili za razvrstitev predmetov
v {est osrednjih motivov: simbolni, prazni~ni, nabo`ni, cvetli~ni, geometrijski in
pravlji~ni. Kot materiali nastopajo: tekstil, les, glina, kamen, steklo, papir in porcelan.
Ro~no narejeni izdelki na{ih izdelovalcev so iz vseh na{tetih materialov. Poleg tovrstne
raznolikosti pa so {e bolj raznolike tehnike izdelovanja teh predmetov. Na{teli smo
jih ve~ kot petnajst: klekljanje, vezenje, {ivanje, kva~kanje in pletenje, posebni tehniki
“pergamana” in krpanka; pa bru{enje in struènje, nana{anje oljnih barv na les, slikanje
na porcelan …; vse si lahko ogledate na na{i spletni strani.

simbolni motiv je lahko izdelan v ve~ materialih, kar izvemo prav s pomo~jo filtrirnega

Melbournu po “receptu” svoje mame izdeluje Metka Lenar~i~, in so nekaj posebnega ter v
avstralskem okolju prava zanimivost. Spet druge izdelovalke so se {ele v Avstraliji nau~ile
nekaterih tradicionalnih “slovenskih” ro~nih spretnosti. Tako se je gospa Marija Brne
iz Melbourna {ele pri sedemdesetih nau~ila klekljanja v slovenskem verskem sredi{~u v
mestu Kew, danes pa ima eno najlep{ih in najbogatej{ih zbirk klekljanih prtov in prti~kov,

izraze in se “osvobodile” tradicionalnih tehnik in znanj ter zaìvele v popolnoma novih
izrazih, kot so barvanje porcelana, kaligrafija in izdelovanje vo{~ilnic iz pergamenta, pa
tehnika krpanke, slikanje lesa in keramike z oljnimi barvami itd. Slovenski motivi se
prelivajo z avstralskimi: nagelj, planika, lipov list z evkaliptusi, koalami in kenguruji, s
specifi~nimi avstralskimi drevesi, rastlinjem in barvami. Dejansko gre za proces ohranjanja
in spreminjanja slovenske identitete v Avstralije, ki ga lahko opazujemo tudi skozi ro~na
dela, ki nastajajo v Avstraliji v rokah na{ih priseljencev prve generacije, ki pa vsi ìvijo
