2024, the 300th anniversary of Bach's chorale cantatas!

Friederike Mayröcker
(20 December 1924 – 4 June 2021)
described her working process:
"I live in pictures.
I see everything in pictures, my complete past,
memories are pictures.
I transform pictures into language
by climbing into the picture.
I walk into it until it becomes language."

look at pictures in portrait

(from User:Gerda Arendt/Stories)

Let's be thankful for 2023, a year of resiliance.
We shared knowledge, and continue.
We talked, and continue.
We remembered great people, and continue.
We enjoyed places, songs and food with friends, and continue!
