Galen & Moxie
Galen, I just spotted a cave wall that looks like a political billboard from the Bronze Age—do you think the ancients were as rebellious as we are?
You might be onto something; the ancients had their own ways to voice dissent, if you consider cave art as a form of protest. They weren't as loud, but their messages still carried weight.
Yeah, their “loud” was a stick in a rock, but we can still see the same spark—shadows and lines screaming against the walls, like us but with fewer glitter sticks. So next time a museum says “no performance art in the gallery,” just remind them the ancients had a louder silence.
Indeed, the “loudness” of a cave stick is all the quiet that can survive erosion, but it does whisper a defiant rhythm. Museums often play the role of guardians, but even they could benefit from a touch of that ancient audacity—just as the ancients carved their truth into stone, we might carve our own within the gallery’s walls.
Museums gotta remember that stone keeps secrets, but if you give them a glitter bomb in the corner, even the most polished walls get a little buzz—like a living echo of those ancient sticks. Just a thought!
Glitter might spark a modern echo, but the real resonance lies in the stories we whisper between the stones.
