Description
The UMBC Humanities Forum presents a panel of scholars from Maryland Traditions, the Folklife Program of the Maryland State Arts Council, who will discuss "Approaching Authenticity: Locating Living Cultural Memories, Identities, and Traditions in the 21st Century." The panel will explore what 'authenticity' means with respect to our living cultural memories, identities and traditions of today. In this increasingly globalized world, where ideas are shared, taken and/or sold instantaneously and where the boundaries between communities, groups and individuals are more fluid than ever before, this panel will focus on what makes one cultural expression, memory or tradition more authentic than another, and who decides what is authentic and what is not.
4 pm, Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery. Admission is free.
Sponsored by Maryland Traditions with support from the James T. and Virginia M. Dresher Center for the Humanities.
