It& #39;s the weekend y& #39;all! Let& #39;s try to see what& #39;s culturally available in times of confinement or lock down... a thread on a few things except academic work...
Apparently, the closed Louvre Museum has currently more daily visitors than in normal times... due to their virtual tours...

If you prefer sitting down and listening to a podcast, why not listen to Suzanne Conklin Akbari and Chris Piuma talking about, hmmm, let& #39;s say, the Decameron and their favourite (saucy) stories in one of the episodes of @TheSpouter ? https://www.megaphonic.fm/spouter/27 ">https://www.megaphonic.fm/spouter/2...
The Decameron is indeed the new timely reference... here& #39;s a version of if read in various languages by different artists: https://twitter.com/lundimat1/status/1242346497347399680">https://twitter.com/lundimat1...
Here a version lead by a prof in literature, Nathalie Koble, using the Decameron in order to stay in contact with her students and make their minds voyage outside their locked down bodies (in French): https://www.en-attendant-nadeau.fr/dossier-decamerez/">https://www.en-attendant-nadeau.fr/dossier-d...
The "brigada" in the Decameron also sang songs and made music... so maybe some might prefer listing to their favourite artists? Here& #39;s a list of French "chamber musicians": https://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2020/03/18/confinement-les-chanteurs-et-musiciens-pop-offrent-des-concerts-depuis-leur-salon_6033569_3246.html">https://www.lemonde.fr/culture/a...
At least in Germany, I think the daily piano concerts by @igorpianist have become a musical lock down rendez-vous! Listen to this virtuoso playing modern, classic or whatever he and the publics likes, daily, 7pm...

Because all we need is love at the moment, here& #39;s the French Cinémathèque posting a kiss a day taken from a movie (soooo French, eh):

Those who want to glow up their closet for the time "after", maybe take a look at the archive of Vogue Italy? Its archives are now open! https://twitter.com/donetodeath/status/1239923873237340161">https://twitter.com/donetodea...
But no mental health without corporal health! How to excercice in times of limited space and closed gyms? This thread proposes valuable offers for training, from yoga to cardio boxing (my personal favourite atm): https://twitter.com/Noraiya_/status/1238930811493236737">https://twitter.com/Noraiya_/...
And, since we cannot travel in person, let& #39;s travel in mind.... I found this BBC series of short videos on librairies around the world breath taking (starting with my favourite from Cinguetti, Mauritania): https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p085dgnl/inside-the-abandoned-city-of-ancient-libraries">https://www.bbc.com/reel/vide...
