THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER. NEW INFORMATION WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON! The Kentucky Folklife Program, part of the Department of Folk Studies and Anthropology at WKU, is hosting a Regional Folklife Network Meeting on March 12 from 10am-4pm at the Appalachian Arts Alliance in Hazard, KY. This free event, funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, will include two workshops, lunch and a debrief and information on the Kentucky Folklife Network. The first hands-on workshop will focus on Folk Arts &amp; Education, presented by Judy Sizemore and Nicole Musgrave, which includes a certificate of participation for a standard aligned workshop integrating folk arts across the curriculum. This will provide teachers and community members with ideas for activities for engaging students in researching and documenting their own communities. Activities are aligned to standards in Social Studies, Reading, and Writing, Visual and Performing Arts, and Media Arts and empower students to understand primary and secondary sources through hands-on activities. There will also be suggestions for documenting local artists and tradition bearers and sharing community research through media, writing, or theater.The second workshop is focussed on Oral History in Practice presented by Kentucky Folklife Program Director Brent Björkman and Folklife Specialist Joel Chapman. This will teach the basics of oral history interviews, including hands-on experience with recording equipment and a chance to practice interviewing skills. Lunch and opportunities to learn more about Kentucky Folklife Network and ways to get involved will be included.
