Workshops 2022

A look back at the 2nd annual Folklife Workshops

The 2nd annual Southern Maryland Folklife Summer Workshops took place in June 2022

At this year’s three day event, we offered a range of workshops on everything from writing about the Southern Maryland landscape and making stuffed ham to immersing yourself in the traditions of batik and participating in Umfundalai contemporary African dance. Our workshops wrapped up with our signature celebration and gallery exhibition highlighting the traditions and cultures shared in our workshops.
