One of my blogging friends, the artist Ingrid Persaud (see
Notes from a small rock and
14x21 blogs), is starting a project aiming to record an ordinary day, Tuesday, May 6, 2008, in the life of ordinary people in Barbados. If you are in Barbados on May 6 all you do is keep a diary of your day, between 600 -1000 words, and send it to her by email. It will function as a time capsule capturing for history what normal people did on that very normal day – what they wore, what they ate, where they went, what transport they used – just the stuff of a normal day. It is not about recording extraordinary events. The records will ultimately be available online for all to share. Keep a record of the day and send to:
maketodayhistory@gmail.com. You can email it anytime between May 6 to 9, 2008. Please tell your family, colleagues and friends.
