Abstract

In the article I introduce actions concerning the broadly understood revitalization (revival, restoration) of folk costume, undertaken in the village of Dąbrówka Wielka in Piekary Śląskie district. I examine grassroots initiatives aimed at preserving the custom of wearing local folk costumes and at demonstrating local identity and attachment to tradition. These projects can be classified as a magnum opus of the so-called engaged animation, turning modern folk costume wearers into protagonists of pageants that form a specific type of historical reenactment.
