West Virginia Folklife Program Public Interest Meeting
January 31, 2017
— Ripley, Jackson
WVHC Event
On Tuesday, January 31, state folklorist Emily Hilliard brings the West Virginia Folklife Program to Ripley with a public interest meeting at the Senior Citizen Center at 121 S. Court Street. Hilliard will present a free public talk titled “What is Folklore?” at 10:30 a.m.
Hilliard is conducting a statewide fieldwork survey to assess and document current folklife activity in West Virginia. “Folklife traditions are community-based creative expressions,” she said. “Those can include traditional music and dance, foodways, material culture, faith-based expressions, occupational lore, and more.” Hilliard will give a brief presentation on the discipline of folklore and her current work in West Virginia, and take feedback from the audience on local traditions, traditional artists, and tradition bearers in their community.
