It was a powerful experience to witness Rothko's art, which paints emotions and “portals” to our inner world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65a8e5366210cf74c967fdec/1709149194304-IRVJQJM3T5HQGWHW9DLY/image-asset.jpeg Travel Stories - 3 Fascinating Anthropological Theories Explained Simply - Make it stand out Caption: Just as an actor performs a role for the audience, we perform roles when we meet others, according to Goffman’s theory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65a8e5366210cf74c967fdec/1d48fe99-564e-49af-9e9d-42b525ecc5e2/The-elements-of-Social-Drama-Turner-Victor-On-The-Edge-of-the-Bush-Anthropology-As.png Travel Stories - 3 Fascinating Anthropological Theories Explained Simply - Make it stand out Illustration of the model for social drama.
