About watching the recordings: Both Part 1 and Part 2 for Day 1 (April 13) can be found in the player window for Day 1. They are located on the right side of the window (you may have to scroll left to see the right side of the window). Part one is the bottom recording. For Day 2, there are 2 separate viewer windows, with Part 1 being the first window. On mobile devices, best viewing can be achieved by tapping the viewer window to bring up the controls and clicking the box in the bottom right corner of the player window. If you have any technical difficulties watching the recordings, please email Naa Kwarley (naa.kwarley@musea.org).

Let's spend time together!

Dear ones! I wanted to create a context for how, even though we are broadcasting across the world, it’s still a very real “place”. I’m inviting you to bring your studio into a context of togetherness with all of us. Here’s how I think about it - with an invitation to connect with your environment.
