Since 1968: The Center for Traditional Music & Dance and Appalshop
A symposium exploring the themes of cultural work, geography, and community as manifested in the history of three organizations that emerged from the social, political and cultural transformations that reshaped national and global society in 1968: the Center for Traditional Music and Dance, Appalshop and the Drum and Spear Bookstore. Panel one: Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018, the Center for Traditional Music and Dance's programs and documentation celebrate the wealth of cultural heritage found in New York's immigrant communities. Appalshop is looking toward its 50th year (in 2019) of presenting the cultures and experiences of Appalachian communities as counter-narratives that combat the surrounding the region. Founders and current staff members will reflect on the unique history of each organization and discuss questions in common about the role of cultural documentation, heritage vitality, and plurality of experiences across rural and urban spaces.
