How are folklives an expression of our place in the world? How do community traditions inform where we’ve been and where we’re going? Save the date to join Maine Humanities and Chocolate Church Arts Center for a special public event celebrating the stories we tell through music and foodways, and what they say about our connections to the past and our hopes for the future.
The event will include a community meal, performances, dance, and a panel discussion. Guests will include Blues musician Samuel James, Al-Mashreq Ensemble: Music of the Arab East, Penobscot Nation performer Firefly the Hybrid, and Jasmine Tintor (Penobscot) co-founder of Katahdin Kitchen.
