Description:
In a three-year cycle themed with World Migration at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, this second year presents topics related to Migration across Generations. Visitors explore how American communities and cultures are transformed by the movements, displacements, and interactions of diverse populations over time, with the goal of obtaining insight into the growth of healthy inclusive communities across the country.
The focus this year is on the youth, young Americans whose families have arrived in this country within the last generations. These young people are Americans, raised in the United States. Some of them have been born here, others were brought here as part of a family group who immigrated. It is these first-generation Americans who live fully within a framework of biculturalism. Their parents and grandparents carry with them the language and customs of their country of origin, while the children spend their days in the local schools, becoming integrated as citizens of the United States.
Building on a small but innovative program from 2016, the 2017 program foregrounds the perspectives of youth, past and present. It invites intergenerational conversations about the interplay of migration, creativity, and culture, highlighting the social power of tradition and art. It focuses on how young people assume responsibility as bridge builders among communities, generations, and into the future. Today's generation of young people—ranging from their mid-teens into their mid-thirties—are the most racially diverse population in American history. As young Americans, they have a particular stake in the world they inherit together.
For this program, the National Mall became a space for performances, workshops, sports, visual arts demonstrations, and discussions. Themes of multilingualism, diversity and identity within and across cultural communities are addressed. These themes highlight the shifting notions of the sense of belonging, communication in both high-tech and traditional methods, and the disruptive and generative impacts of migration.

Introduction:
Washington, D.C.: It's Our Home was a program rich with the memories and flourishing traditional practices of the city's fishermen, taxi and bus drivers, lawyers, dancers, activists, retirees, seamstresses, craftspeople, musicians, choirs, quartets, gardeners, poets, cooks, quilters, and rappers, from east of the Anacostia River to west of Rock Creek Park. Washington, D.C., is a city of refuge and advocacy for the marginalized peoples of our nation and the world, and participants helped visitors see the social, cultural, and political context for their folklife practices. More than 45 researchers from community institutions and universities in the District worked for over a year and compiled cultural documentation on hundreds of potential Festival participants. Then they tackled the ticklish task of making a coherent statement about their multi-faceted city. A few examples illustrate what they found and chose to present on the National Mall.
Soccer, for example, offers windows to connections and community. New immigrants to Washington often search for soccer teams from home. Each week Washington's parks host a small contest between nations, from Trinidad to Korea and Ethiopia. Spectators cook and share traditional foods, play music, and dance, transforming these games into celebrations. Long-time Washingtonians have grown to love soccer as well, and the city has nurtured its own legendary players and coaches, clinics and camps, styles, language, and new generations of players.
Washington, D.C., residents are also enthusiastic participants in and spectators of numerous parades and processions throughout the year. Caribbean Carnival, Gay Pride, Chinese New Year, Unifest, Halloween, the Cherry Blossom, and inaugural parades and Good Friday processions are examples of lively celebratory events that take place on city streets. Participants in those celebrations spend countless hours in detailed planning and preparation to create the delicate balance between artistic style and performance. Spectators interact with performers as this unpredictable form of dynamic street theater pulsates through city neighborhoods. Folklife Festival visitors could enjoy both the celebrations themselves and the behind-the-scenes preparations.
The program also honored community life and civic action, including the memories of the neighborhoods that people built as safe spaces from discrimination, and others that people lost through urban renewal and relocation. Participants described the city's long tradition of human rights activism, and they shared the songs, arts, stories, icons, rituals, and memorabilia that have enlivened this tradition.
Go-go, Washington's indigenous music, may be the quintessential urban music, all percussion and beat, pulsing from garbage can lids, plastic buckets, homemade drums, cowbells, bass guitar, and saxophone, drawing audiences into passionate call-and-response as they identify the neighborhoods where they live. As musicians, deejays, dancers, stylists, instrument builders, and fans make this music, they also communicate its deep and complex roots in African American musical styles, the history of live musical gatherings in the city, and the pride of place expressed in a musical tradition that begins with meager material resources.

Catalonia is a distinctive society in northeastern Spain, bounded by the Pyrenees to the north and the Ebro River Delta to the south. Long known as a país d'acollida, a "welcoming country", Catalonia has been defined by its location and its thousand-year history of social and cultural integration.
Archaeological evidence of this history appears in local communities stretching across the region. The Roman settlement of Barcino has become the modern city of Barcelona. Dating from the Middle Ages, castles of diverse Christian kingdoms, Romanesque churches dedicated to local saints, and Moorish structures and gardens from the Muslim Caliphate of Al-Andalus are scattered across the countryside.
It was only during the 19th century that the Renaixença (or Catalan renaissance) reclaimed the Catalan language and way of life found in families and farms across the region, elevating it to a cultural identity. Along with the Catalan language, the Renaixença celebrated local traditions, historical sites and stories, along with the region's unique landscape.
Catalonia continues to be characterized by the integration of immigrants from northern Africa, Europe and from around the globe. Its population has more than doubled during the 20th century, from under three million to seven million, due to the continued influx in immigration. Currently, the Catalan language has more than four million native speakers. To many Catalans, the language is a key component of their identity.
As Catalans searched for new ways to show their changing sense of identity, they created new cultural expressions and organizations. They developed an array of cultural associaciós, or associations to celebrate local cultural expressions and promote social cohesion. Even now, many Catalans channel their bold creativity into these cultural heritage enterprises to ensure the vitality of their local cultures and their livelihoods, which include ethnic foods and herbal cures, celebration of the Falles in March and associations that build castelles (human towers) for competition at festivals.
Catalonia was also home to Antoni Gaudí, the best-known architect of the Modernist movement. Across the region, the contemporary architectural monuments of Gaudí and his protégés reference Catalonia's role as an international hub for technology and innovation. Other famous Catalonian artists include Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, and Antoni Tàpies. In other social circles, the FC Barcelona, also known as the Barça, and RCD Espanyol are notable as the biggest soccer clubs in Catalonia.
The program is co-produced with the Government of Catalonia's Department of Popular Culture and Cultural Associations. Additional research and content support is made possible by Adifolk: the Association for the Diffusion of Folklife, and the Fira Mediterrània de Manresa.
