IRONFLAG PUBLICATION BOOK#004 ISBN 978-87-995419-8-0 KNOWING THE ROPES #2

The expression “knowing the ropes” means to understand one’s craft or profession. The origin may be nautical, referring to sailors who have to learn the function of each rope on a ship, or it may come from the theatre where ropes are used to raise and lower sceneries.

@knowingtheropes is an ongoing project by Brynhildur Pálsdóttir, Þuríður Rós Sigþórsdóttir and Theresa Himmer in collaboration with Aarhus Possement Fabrik and Hampiðjan.
