This is huge! The Huni Kuin people patterns (called Kene Kuin) have just received recognition as a cultural heritage of Brazil. This happens just one month after a similar recognition from the Peruvian Ministry of Culture (Feb 23).
These patterns are found everywhere - in their face and body paints, traditional clothes, ceramics...
Here' a short and interesting documentary on the topic:

In a collaborative museology initiative, the #InDigit project team, coordinated by Rodrigo Lacerda and Elisabete Pereira, organised a workshop at the National Museum of Ethnology with Kanawayuri Marcello Kamaiurá and Auakamu Kamayurá, from the #Kamayurá indigenous people (Alto Xingu, Brazil).

We have not enough rain. I know that without any app. Because always, when the traditional magnolia bloom in northern Alsace, it rains a lot. The splendour often lasts only a few days.
Now we've only had grey, dry days. Wonderful to see the flowers. But bad for the drying soil.
If you connect nature's calendar with "traditional" remembered weather you can see the shift: https://www.cronenburg.net/magic/
There's still so much to do in #education (also of adults!). So much #knowledge get's lost by the dumbing-down machinery of ideology-cultists.
Mrs Sisypha looks at a huge mountain of work and tries to develop a playful #learning concept for a workshop on #biodiversity and cultural/natural heritage. 
@animalculum It's interesting that "bloody snow" is an important topic in old lore, Christian legends of Middle Ages, and cultural heritage. It would be very interesting to analyse these texts for their connection with climate history, like warming periods.
As part of the #REWIND project, Alba Comino published ‘Intertwining Narrative and Technology: Reinterpreting European Cultural Heritage through the Voices of Latin American Women Writers’ in the International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing, where she describes the #methodology used in the project.

Volunteer work can be extremely varied. For example, when you have to taste a giant omelette with the museum staff because Rosalie, the museum goose, has laid unfertilised eggs. Thank you Rosalie! Well, and, erm, Kasimir! 
Meanwhile, my #scrollBook has the double length. In today's museum animations I'll work hard on it to show you new photos up from tomorrow! Here the last photos: https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/114177577441699404

Who are the most important world changers? Those who shout 'make XY great again' and walk over dead bodies in their greed? Or the more quiet ones who get together, let tiny seeds slip through their fingers, swap old varieties, and revitalise this important knowledge? https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/025f4904-2364-4711-8907-f7e55841993f

@EdwinG I live in the European common culture with *open* borders between France and Germany, work in a multilingual #culturalHeritage centre and try to imagine it.
It's crazy what it destroys in terms of old grown relationships and #culture. My colleagues would probably install a new door at night. 
I have the utmost respect for the people who still want to continue working together! @libraries
Catholic News Agency: A Vatican video game? New Minecraft edition has students restore St. Peter’s Basilica. “Minecraft, the popular video game known for its blocky, pixelated graphics, has launched a new educational edition that challenges students to explore and restore St. Peter’s Basilica.”
