  “Of course, nondisabled people appreciate this moment. But what it actually means to see and feel strapping on stage, to hear and recognize the sound of Velcro unfurling is different, more complex, for those of us in the disability community. For some, the choice to strap publicly was controversial, too private to show on stage; for others, it was revelatory, a moment of celebration. Strapping and intimacy became a regular aspect of post-show conversations.” – The New York Tim

• Research: Listening To Music Doesn’t Boost Creativity (In Fact It Hurts It)

  27-02-2019 22:02 via feedproxy.google.com

And, according to one auctioneer, that demand doesn’t come from right-wing extremists. – The Art Newspaper
