Kolam is a form of sand painting that is drawn using rice powder by female members of the family in front of their home. It is widely practiced by Hindus in South India. A kolam is a sort of painted prayer - a line drawing composed of curved loops, drawn around a grid pattern of dots. Kolams are thought to bestow prosperity to homes.

1001 Chairs Protest for Ai Weiwei This Weekend by Kyle Chayka Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has been missing for 12 days without official charge from the Chinese government. In protest, artists and activists all over the world are planning a global sit-in this Sunday, April 17 at 1 pm, staking out Chinese embassies with 1001 Chairs for Ai Weiwei, a take on Ai Weiwei’s 2007 “Fairytale” project in Kassel, Germany. All over the world, protesters will bring chairs to Chinese embassies and consulates and “sit peacefully” in support of Ai. Spearheaded by New York City’s own Creative Time, the organization writes that “1001 Chairs for Ai Weiwei calls for [Ai’s] immediate release, supporting the right of artists to speak and work freely in China and around the world.” See the event’s Facebook page for details, including gathering places and times all over the world….

Last night I posted on an emerging proposal for 2011 over at the Homage blog. Somewhat tentatively putting a plan out there that is still in the process of being formalised is a leap of faith I can assure you. Still... one cant hold one's breathe indefinitely!
In February I was invited to consider taking up a proposal that was MUCH to my liking! With it comes certain pragmatic matters to figure out ... so thats what's been pre-occupying me of late. Lets just say I'm very keen, for one who's not much been a traveller for a rather long time now ...its ... well... yes... very exciting to ponder.
I know some of you are jet-setters (funny saying that!) ... I however, have become a remarkably stay-at-home person in recent years. Maybe moving homes, relocating quite a lot does that to you... but I'm ready ... and I'll keep cooking this plan!
Ciao,
Sophie

Have just returned from the Homage blog... what a wonderful sounding opportunity! Although I have no practical advice to share at this stage my fingers (and toes!) are tightly crossed that the proposal/planning stages go just as you hope they will and that you'll be delving deep into the magic of Kew (and its astounding MSB) soon!
Em...

Mary,
the god thing about tumblr is you can come and go...it just keeps going without us! Mmm.. speaking of cooking dinner time soon!

Suzanne... thank you for the lovely message. I must admit initial excitement been far outweighed by what has to be done to pull it together... I guess it pays to focus on the mundane... one can enjoy the result of efforts later!
