The Museum at Eldridge Street uses an 1887-built landmark synagogue to tell
the story of immigration, Jewish culture, and architectural preservation in
Manhattan's Lower East Side. The museum's signature event is a summer
festival - the Egg Creams, Egg Rolls, and Empanadas Festival. The one-day
event welcomes 10,000 people and unites the three predominant immigrant
cultures in their dynamic Lower East Side neighborhood. Museum staff, key
community partners and the festival's founder discuss successes,
challenges, and the importance of inclusivity and adaptability in creating
a cultural festival.

Rockwell Museum educators and Mexican folk artists will share the
development of the Museum’s *Dia de Los Muertos* (Day of the Dead) school
programming and community cultural event that has grown and transformed
since its inception sixteen years ago. The program creates an opportunity
for students to connect an artistic experience with cultural traditions
integrated into classroom education.

The culminating *Dia de Los Muertos* celebration is a public community
collaborative event about the origins and meaning behind this Mexican
holiday. Leonel and Dolores Rosario will perform traditional dances and

Simon will perform and discuss how he builds cross cultural understanding
through teaching and performing traditional Arabic music. Shaheen is one of
the most significant Arab musicians, performers, and composers of his
generation. His work incorporates and reflects a legacy of Arabic music,
while forging ahead to new frontiers, embracing many different styles in
the process. Shaheen was honored in 1994 with the prestigious National
Heritage Award. In addition to performing with his two bands, Qantara and
the Near Eastern Music Ensemble, Shaheen tours as a solo artist
internationally and as a lecturer throughout the world promoting awareness
to Arab music.

*Gather Together: Quilting Niagara*

*Edward Yong Jun Millar*

 Curator of Folk Arts, Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University

*Parrish Gibbons Herzog*

 Marketing and Public Relations Manager, Kenan Center

*Nancy Smith*

Co-President, Kenan Quilters’ Guild

This presentation will explore Gather Together: Quilting Niagara, a
partnership between the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University, the
Kenan Center, and the Kenan Quilters’ Guild. Three themes approached
through the perspective of each project partner guide this session: the
fieldwork-forward approach to exhibit development, building a layered
collaborative model between cultural institutions to promote cultural
tourism, and tapping into community knowledge and skills for project
management. Gather Together: Quilting Niagara is now a video series
containing walk-through and excerpts from audio interviews with each
quilter on display in the exhibition, combined with detail images of their
quilts.

*Weaving To Heal: Backstrap Weaving*

*Cynthia Alberto*

Artist, Designer, and Founder, Weaving Hand

*Gigi Bio*

Filipina Weaver

Cynthia Alberto will introduce the history of backstrap weaving, an ancient
and globally practiced tradition consisting of two sticks with stretch
warps in between. Alberto will demonstrate this weaving on both traditional
and modern backstrap looms sharing examples of weaving from the
Philippines, Indonesia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. In her presentation
she will discuss her personal and artistic journey and how artists who have
been separated from their cultures of origin, whether by immigration or
forced removal, can reclaim their heritage and reconnect with traditional
practices. Forum participants will get to try their hand at weaving on the
looms.

Alberto is an artist, designer, and founder of the Brooklyn-based weaving
and healing arts studio Weaving Hand. She seeks to bridge traditional and
contemporary weaving techniques, drawing inspiration from ancient
communities of Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa, Her artwork,
performances, and public weaving projects honor traditional and artisanal
techniques while also incorporating unconventional materials and a
zero-waste philosophy.
