I can't claim any great cultural heritage apart , on my UK side, from an intimate knowledge of the Methodist Hymn book, and the fact my mother late into her life desperately regretted that she'd never been able to learn the accordion, which she had *so* wanted to do instead of the piano.She also only ever wrote one poem, at school, and it was clearly important to her, this creative act, because she remembered & recited it to the end of her life: See the little Daisy brightStanding there, all through the nightPink tipped petals, golden centreLet us go to the castle and enter. Whatever frustrated creative drive she had, she later channeled into an almost supernatural ability to make house plants of all varieties grow and thrive.My Dad was entirely uninterested in culture except for the Saturday pm ITV wrestling and Cossack dancing displays. He did however love nature with a passion and I inherited that.As for documents -a couple of weeks ago my cousin Jarosław sent me a piece of testimony from my father which must have been given in 43 or 44 & has been in the Hoover collection in the States ever since. When he related this he was three years younger than my daughter is now. One of my very first pieces of 'net art' (sounds quaint now) made in Director, but now just a piece of video, dealt with the same subjects. The testimony:https://bit.ly/37ZZcns

I love that idea that playing is bringing the past back in such an active and evocative way. I'd be interested in the creative skills and tools of the trade that other people on the list have inherited, if I may be so bold as to high-jack your email thread, Ruth?

You can see from the inscription that it was a birthday present from Rolf, my paternal grandfather, to his father exactly 60 years ago today. My dad John, who was a professional cellist, has a photo from this time of the three generations of men playing chamber music: Dad on cello, Rolf on the piano, and my great grandfather, Arthur, playing the violin. <image.png> There is something very moving to me about this cultural inheritance, and I wanted to share it with you all :) warmly Ruth -- Co-founder & Artistic director of Furtherfield & DECAL Decentralised Arts Lab+44 (0) 77370 02879 *sending thanks in advance Furtherfield disrupts and democratises art and technology through exhibitions, labs & debate, for deep exploration, open tools & free thinking. furtherfield.org DECAL Decentralised Arts Lab is an arts, blockchain & web 3.0 technologies research hub for fairer, more dynamic & connected cultural ecologies & economies now. decal.is Furtherfield is a Not-for-Profit Company Limited by Guarantee Registered in England and Wales under the Company No.7005205.
