Usually something historical is visualized in physical form: a castle, an ancient candlestick, or prehistoric cave markings. But oral tradition (poem, teachings, ritual), and performing art also can make an unbroken thread with the past, too. The wall poster shows this town's giant float and the costumed, non-professional performers together. The parade combines old equipment and new generations of participants. So this example has both the ongoing, "living" dimension as well as the "artistic object" dimension.
