And We Quote...
in cra-briefings32 · December 15, 2005
Culture is more than the livelihood of practitioners or the profits of cultural industries. It is a reflection of diverse civilizations and vehicle for the history, language, poetry, music and stories that weave our identities and relationships and provide ways to reflect our uniqueness and share the richness of diversity. All of these elements are to be both celebrated and contested but which is only possible in a milieu that nurtures the value of culture for its own sake.
