Curatorial Conversations by Olivia Cadaval
Since its origins in 1967, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival has gained worldwide recognition as a model for the research and public presentation of living cultural heritage and the advocacy of cultural democracy. Curatorial Conversations brings together for the first time in one volume the combined expertise of the Festival's curatorial staff - past and present.
Touting democracy rhetorically is different than steadily working to make it happenFor fifty years, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival has been celebrating, recognizing, and documenting the many local-global cultures that make life richly expressive of what's real, everyday, and worthwhile. In an era of shrill, divisive posing, this book is an oasis of thoughtful and thought-provoking reflection on sustained organizing work. This engaged dialogue-driven public curating is cultural democracy in action. - John Kuo Wei Tchen, historian and co-founder of the Museum of Chinese in America
