Growth of Obs Culture

Robert Small, editor for the ObsLife collective.

What is culture? The classical definition is that it is anything to do with the arts, science, education, spirituality, philosophy and religion.

Culture infiltrates every part of human life: Business, Politics, and organised Religion. It has often been said that culture is first learned at the Mother's breast- especially the culture of love.

But where does Culture really come from?

Well, clearly it comes from us human beings. Something inside of us all, that wants to become, in any and every way, better or different than before.

This edition of ObsLife tries to focus on the culture in Observatory. We have found that it is an evolving construct, as it perhaps should be.

There is indeed a great deal happening in this diverse neighbourhood.

No-one can authoritatively list every play or exhibition or musical performance in Obs, and many things are in flux.

There is certainly a new and positive culture of collaboration breaking through in Obs.

We will continue to encourage this new culture of collaboration through inspiration.

Of course, there is also the culture of the dark world of crime and grime , but is this really culture or death of culture?

And who really, even the criminals, really want to remain in this underworld if they could find a way out that would truly satisfy their deepest longings?

This ObsLife's cultural focus is just a beginning- we have not been able to undertake extensive interviews.

But we have been able to present some of the things that are reported to us by residents.

Therefore, please send us news of your project and how you add value to Obs.

We will always want to promote and support you in every way possible.

ObsLife itself is a cultural platform- an attempt to inspire an even more collaborative lifestyle and get the culture of "a place in the sun for all" happening, as best as humanly possible.
