The Folklorist Next Door
Community folklorists explore Texas traditions.
Community-based folklorists explore foodways, music, ritual celebrations, and more. Each folklorist participated in Texas Folklife's Community Folklife Fellowship program where they received mentorship, training workshops, and project support. This project is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
