Mongolian United Nations Buddhist Relics Tour 23 August 2004. An esteemed lineage holder of Mongolian Long Song on her way to perform for those travelling on our tour in the luncheon ger erected near Eden Zuu Monastery built in 1586 in Övörkhangai Aimag Mongolia. Such performances, the creation of sociality, time and space in quasi-domestic ritual celebrations are integral and meaning-making for everyone involved in such sites, albeit fleeting. See ‘Creating sociality, time and space, pp169-210’ in Carole Pegg’s beautiful book, Mongolian Music, Dance and Oral Narrative: Performing Diverse Identities (University of Washington Press, 2001).
