Culture is a haenyeo cooperative, a Seogwipo dawn boat, and a museum that must not turn living workers into a costume.
The useful ritual is giving a working pair room. The loud ritual is a heritage selfie.

Culture should sound like a cooperative and a harbour master. It too often sounds like a costume.
