Southeast Asians in Lowell Collection, 1987-1989 Description An account of the resource This collection includes two series, the Cambodian Traditional Crafts and Religious Ceremonies, 1987, and the Southeast Asian Exhibit Photographs, 1988-1989. The first series includes Chigas’ 84-page paper on Cambodian Traditional Crafts and Religious Ceremonies created in 1987 along with corresponding photographs. The project, funded in part by the Historic Preservation Commission of Lowell, Massachusetts, explores the traditional crafts and religious ceremonies of the Cambodian refugees who settled in the Greater Lowell area in the aftermath of the Cambodian genocide. The second series includes 20 photographs from a Lowell exhibit on Southeast Asians that was coordinated by George Chigas. Part of the collection is accessible on this site.

Title A name given to the resource Kite Making: Soeun Tim readies the kite's vibrating ribbon, 1987 Subject The topic of the resource Kites Lowell (Mass.) Color photography Description An account of the resource Soeun Tim readies the kite's vibrating ribbon for stringing to the bow. Like the other bamboo splits used to make the wings, the vibrating ribbon was shaved down with a knife. However, to make the strip flexible enough to vibrate it had to be honed down much more than the other pieces until it was nearly as thin as a sheet of paper. This can be difficult and painful for the craftsman since the friction generated by repeatedly pulling the bamboo ribbon between the knife and his finger can burn his skin. The thin ribbon is also notched at the ends and looped and hooked with the cord that will be strung to the bow piece which has similar notches. As was previously explained, the string can be restrung on the bow to adjust the tension. Kate Making, photograph 12 of 19, from Cambodian Traditional Crafts and Religious Ceremonies.
