Case Studies: Young Students Documenting Artisans of Style
Description:
Mustard Seeds is a faith-based initiative in Takoma Park, Maryland. Engaging youth from preschool through college, the program explores the arts and humanities of various cultures represented within the community through traditions such as Caribbean steel drum music and African American gospel. The program is a collaborative effort that uses hands-on learning and sharing through performance in order to nurture, guide, and educate the next generation. Mustard Seeds' youth group has named themselves "The Young Folklorists" and is implementing the Will to Adorn program in its own community, documenting artisans of style in the greater Washington, DC and Baltimore area. This session is a case study feature of "The Will to Adorn" conference series, hosted by the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
