I’m reminded of your book @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social … not a tapestry & not from Bayeux 🤭
The Bayeux Tapestry, a 70 meter long medieval masterpiece created by artisan women, is actually an embroidery in crewel (wool yarn) on a linen ground. Depicting the Norman conquest of England, it was made in the 11th century & will be displayed at the British Museum this year. #WomensArt

The Ukrainian "Shchedryk" (Carol of the Bells) performed by a Swedish choir.
The choir’s director, its pianist, and several young singers are Ukrainian. The rest of the members are foreigners who learned our legendary "Shchedryk" in its original Ukrainian for this special performance.
