Video Title:
Incorporating Language Diversity into Cultural Heritage Research and Presentations
Description:
Mary Linn focuses on the importance of language in cultural representation and conversations. Beyond signage and translation, there are many ways of incorporating the mother languages of artisans and tradition bearers at festivals and in museums. Viewers will learn ways in which research for museum collections, exhibits, and programming can create rich documentation that can be repurposed as language materials for future generations. In this digital lecture series, five curators at the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage share methods of cultural heritage documentation, presentation, and preservation. Drawing from experience producing the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and cultural sustainability projects, their lectures explore effective modes of community engagement, language elicitation, and multigenerational education. Viewers will learn how to facilitate meaningful interactions with tradition bearers and audience members.
