*This workshop has been postponed to April 26 out of an abundance of caution. If you are already registered please check your email for next steps.*
This documentation workshop will equip grassroots organizations in our region with the skills and perspectives to document and present their cultural traditions and histories from their own points of view. Come learn the basics of community documentation, including: oral history interviewing, basic videography using DSLR cameras, synthesizing interview content, and crafting narratives for video or podcast.
The workshop will be led by talented folklore professionals: TC Owens, folklorist for the Arts Council for the Southern Finger Lakes and Karen Canning, folklorist for GLOW Traditions of Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, and Wyoming Counties.
The free workshop will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the "Fireplace Room" of the Prendergast Library, 509 Cherry Street, Jamestown, NY.
Lunch will be provided. This workshop is free, made possible through a grant from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation.
