Humans / artists behaving socially
Bentvueghels
Artists from the Northern and Southern Netherlands formed this company in Rome around 1620. They called themselves “birds of a feather.” Initiation came with a name chosen by the group.
Get Bent borrows that naming ceremony for a seven-question quiz. The assignment is modern; historical names and newly coined ones are labeled separately.
