This is amazing: Mexico's sound museum just released what may be the only audio recording of Frida Kahlo. A hypnotizing, beautiful recording, whether or not you speak Spanish

Wow that talk by Tim Hannigan was absolutely brilliant and put very eloquently all of the complexities about colonial legacy and the bicentennial into words!

@_museumguy @MuseumJim @MuseumNextAU It's a really great digital experience and we've noticed visitorship to the actual gallery with the drawings pick up. If you do end up visiting let me know, I'd be happy to sort tickets!

#museumnext was my first ever conference (to say nothing of actually speaking) so huge ups to @MuseumNextAU for taking a punt on me, was such a great experience and learnt so much
