A story created by people, reuniter by beinh chained to it all. An ornamenr for the early adopters, the disrupters, the regular and the exeptional, a piece for everyone…

be chained is telling the story about life.. How do you want to live your life? Tell us your story

To everyone and no one, to you and myself. We are not chained to quantity, status, color or nationality. We are chained to all.

Everyone has their own uniqueness that they can be proud of. We are one of a kind, but we can only be complete until we accept that we are part of this society we call humankind.

It's the last few days to go visit this marvelous exhibition at Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam that is there until June 4th. The visual artist Saodat Ismailova takes us with her to her native Uzbekistan and explores questions of traditions, myths, dreams, and collective memory in Central Asia.

One aspect that Ismailova explored and that I found especially fascinating was the question of language and accessibility. The Uzbek language changed alphabets throughout its modern history. It was written in an Arabic script up until the late 1920s, when it was changed to a Latin script. In the 1940s the Cyrillic script became the official one as part of a language reform in the Soviet Union. Today, Uzbek is mostly written in the Latin script again. However, the switch from Cyrillic to Latin is not yet fully finalised, as Uzbekistan announced that the country aims for a full transition to the Latin-based alphabet in 2023.

According to Ismailova, these alphabet changes made it very difficult to access sources from previous generations and to create a written cultural canon. This made myths, tales and traditions that are past on orally from generation to generation such a central aspect for Uzbeks.

Visuele communicatie, de ultieme vorm van praten met plaatjes. En een taal met ongekend veel geschreven en ongeschreven regels.

Niet gek ook dat het voor overheden lastig is om de juiste keuzes te maken. Maar de Nederlandse overheid heeft een zeer interressanr design, geheel in lijn met de identiteit van het land.

Liverpool is nog veraf en nog maar 17 van de 37 deelnemende nummers zijn bekend, maar dibs op een top vijf plek voor Noorwegen op Eurovision:

This is so cool. The ikea catalogue from 50 years ago (1973). What I notice is that the living isn’t built around a big tv..

IKEA heeft een 50 jaar oude catalogus online gezet en omlijst met wat mooie reflectie, zoas alleen de marketeers bij IKEA dat kunnen. 🇸🇪😎

Al 40 jaar lang is er elke zaterdagmiddag een prachtig concert in de Domkerk. Zeer de moeite waard, mede door de afwisseling van muziek (overigens altijd klassiek!) aan te raden!
