To set the stage in the exhibit, to remind us we are a community, the artist used WRITING. Visitors write on the walls so we are greeted by others immediately upon walking in, even if alone. The power of #writing; it transcends time.

This I believe: The creators & curators of music museums are superior to all others. @rockheim has an amazing exhibit re: live music, COVID, isolation. It's the journey musicians & fans lived thru lockdowns. https://t.co/MX2z8GSyEg

"After the Lockdown in March 2020, concert venues all over the country were closed, & thousands of concerts were canceled. Many sought refuge in music...the cultural & creative sector was some of the hardest hit during the pandemic. So, what exactly did we lose in the silence?"

I now live mostly in the cognitive theory side of #writing research, but the diverse approaches & thoughts represented at @wrab2023 has watered my anthropology roots. I'm sure this conference will bear intellectual fruit like no other. So thankful. #Norway
