Diaries, Notes and Sketches: The museum edition

Welcome to a limited-edition cassette tape release! Noting the centennial of Lithuanian poet and filmmaker Jonas Mekas, Index and Ord&Bild hosted a 3-part screening series. Using Walden as a point of departure, the series spotlighted Mekas’ important role as enabler, organizer, connector of people, and devout advocate for art. These conversations will now be released in a limited-edition cassette recording in conjunction with the ongoing exhibition CALL IT MUSEUM.
