The Rafoogars have landed

Common Goods participants are now arriving from all corners of the south. The first to come were the darners from Najibabad, India. Thanks greatly to Ilka White for billetting them before they go to Ballarat. Zakir Hussain's skills in darning were put to immediate use when he quickly attached a lining to the Kashmir shawl that is going into the museum display. All the late night airport pickups combined with the museum installation is exhausting, the cultural alchemy provides its own energy.
