Growing up, someone was always telling her that she wouldn’t be able to make a living by #writing, regardless of which kind of writing she did. “I said, ‘OK, but what if I do them all?’”
‘He is steeped in the traditions of Western #philosophy but comes from a world where the #desert reminds you constantly that you are surrounded by a vast inimical emptiness; the ancient #Christian hermits used to sit in the #Egyptian desert because from there you could place a toll-free call to #Paradise’
The art of protest. Culture and Activism from the civil rights movement to the present
"My title, The Art of Protest, is meant to suggest two related things: (1) that the arts have played a significant role in social protest movements,
and (2) that movements need a certain degree of strategic artfulness to be successful in the current age". (T.V. Reed)
THREE ELEMENTS OF HERITAGE (New Zealand's Department of Conservation).
"The three elements used to describe historic heritage are Fabric, Stories and Culture. One or all of these things make up the historic heritage of a place".
➡️ "FABRIC is the physical remains that exist today - it is what you can see or touch."
➡️ "STORIES describe and explain our history - they are what you read, hear or watch. Stories can be told in many different ways. They tell us what happened in the past, the people involved, what events took place and why."
➡️ "CULTURE describes the connection people have with historic places – what they feel, experience or do there. Our cultural experience is enriched by knowledge of the past."
