Cultural contributors are remembered, sometimes immediately and at other times after memories are jogged. This is followed by a rush to commemorate legacies.
Whether the offering is sustained over a short, middle or long term , value deserves to be recognised.
Are the contributions valued because of the talents or skills of the creatives? Or is it because of the way these products are used by groups and individuals, in their own time?
Eventually, the moment passes, and the emotional rollercoaster takes a dip.
In reflection, it becomes clear what the fuss was all about.
