Using Historic Arts to Examine Local, Regional, and National History

Presenters:        Lauren Muney

Friday, May 29               2:00-3:00 PM

Track:   Arts Organizations, Folklife

We think of museums offering facts, and arts offering justice and equality. But what about the middle ground of craftsmanship, historic arts, skills, and trades? Can arts provide a direct connection for our communities to experience and understand their own history and humanities? For years we have left history to museums or historical societies. However in recent years, historical societies and museums have been looking for more ways to “artify” their offerings – make their offerings more interactive, visual, and feel ‘alive’.

Be stimulated by examples of historical societies, museums, and independent events which bring together traditional arts and skills from the past – in this case, ‘traditional’ means not folklore, but of history – to their events and exhibitions. These people are changing the ignorant phrase “old-timey” to truly embrace and appreciate arts of the past, and to help visitors connect to their local, regional, state, or national histories.

Strathmore’s Bloom initiative expands access to the arts in Montgomery County by bringing free arts opportunities into our community, directly engaging with people where they live, work, and attend school. Bloom programs are structured to eliminate barriers of cost, transportation, and parents’ work schedules. Through conversations, surveys, and a close network of community partners, Strathmore has developed programs in response to what the community has expressed they want and need most. Strathmore also frequently adds an artistic resource to existing programs such as community festivals. This session will give an overview of these programs and then do a deep dive into three of them: 1) Good Hope Community Recreation Center, where Strathmore partnered with the county to design and build an arts-integrated center from the earliest planning stages, and now provides regular classes and concerts there. 2) Step Up East County, where Strathmore partners with Step Afrika! to provide a 16-week step residency in three community sites. 3) Latin Strings and Percussion, where Maryland Classic Youth Orchestras of Strathmore provides a 5-week after-school Latin-American music program led by professional coaches to middle and high school students.

Friday, May 29               4:30-5:00 PM

Track:   Independent Artists, A&E Districts, Boards of Directors

What have communities taught you about the power of creative expression to help them move toward healing or overcoming trauma? What lessons would you share with a group engaged in this practice? How do we ensure that we first and foremost do no harm; tread lightly; listen deeply; acknowledge differences and inequities; respect both individual and group voices calling for change?

This campfire conversation will encourage sharing among community artists about their role in using creative expression as a means of coping, communicating, sharing, healing, dealing with, and uniting over difficulty and trauma within self-defined communities. Together the group will construct a framework for thinking about the values underpinning this work, and the spirit of collaboration needed to carry it out.
