lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/HaCPJe8/bayouculturegatherings
When: Friday, January 28 from noon to 1:30 p.m. CST
Speaker: Jonathan Foret
Title: Sinking In: Culture and Disruption
Where: Via Zoom, free
The series will start with Jonathan Foret, executive director of the South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Center exploring what it means to impart culture with intention during times of disruption.
Coordinated by Mike Saunders, the BCC Program Director, each gathering features a topic for discussion in addition to news, announcements, and questions. Topics will range from the practical, such as how to help threatened community museums, to policy discussion, such as how to include cultural durability in the community resilience conversation, to sessions that are devoted to simply sharing cultural traditions, such as a hike to forage wolfberry along brackish marshes. The gatherings will be recorded and posted to the LFS YouTube channel.
The Bayou Culture Gatherings are funded with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, and the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities.
