Reaching Beyond Tradition invites the public to engage with Southeastern basket makers and tradition-keepers in conversation about the history, importance, and continuing evolution of this regional art form. Attendees will learn their unique stories and the roles that they play in maintaining traditions, as well as have chances to compare Kentucky’s unique tradition to those found in other parts of the Southeast, making connections that are crucial to understanding the contributions of basket making to Kentucky culture while also connecting us to the broader context of a Southeastern and global art form.

The program will include four sessions, held during the afternoon and evening hours. Each session will feature a narrative stage, with discussions guided by a facilitator (5-10 prepared questions) with room for audience questions.

Reaching Beyond Tradition with Folk Studies and Anthropology

1:00pm - 9:00pm
  • Location: Kentucky Museum
  • Time: 1:00pm - 9:00pm
  • For generations of community-based traditional artists throughout the Southeastern US, and more pointedly, in and around Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave area, basketmaking has been a way of life.  Fueled initially by necessity, the basket’s journey and its significance within the community has evolved over time from its early utilitarian use to become a heralded object of art.

  • Through Reaching Beyond Tradition, our public audience will experience the evolution of the time-honored tradition through topical narrative stage presentations that will bring this dynamic and evolving story to life.  Throughout the day’s program, attendees with discover the maker’s painstaking hands-on process, what it takes to make a basket, but also learn the historical antecedents of how the evolving marketplace, from family production within the home to the basket stands catering to travelers along the Dixie Highway (31W) affected and expanded individual innovation within a revered framework of community ideals.

  • Narrative Stage Schedule is as Follows:

  • 1:00 pm -“Tradition-Bearers” - Discover the basket makers’ unique stories of encountering and becoming involved in the art of basket making and their roles in maintaining the traditions of their regions, comparing their methods and materials. - Presenters: Scott Gilbert, Bill Smith, Sue Williams

  • 2:30 pm - “Inspirations” - Discover the inspirations behind making their works, evaluating the process of different forms of basket making and how individual and community inspirations play a role in the various styles found in the region. - Presenters: Mary Ann Smith, Sue Williams

  • 5:30 pm - “Knowledge-Sharing” - Discusses the different roles played by basket makers in their communities, including how knowledge is shared between makers and generations as well as how makers market their works to the public. - Presenters: Bill Smith, Sue Williams, Mary Ann Smith, Scott Gilbert

  • 7:00 pm - “Continuity and Evolution” - Discusses the younger generation’s engagement with tradition-bearers, roles in fostering larger community connections and awareness of traditional art forms, and how global communication is connecting and transforming local practices. - Presenters: Emily Swinney, Micah Wiles

  • Larry & Joe are a musical duo currently based in the Triangle of North Caroline. Larry Bellorín hails from Monagas, Venezuela and is a legend of Llanera music. Joe Troop is from North Carolina and is a GRAMMY-nominated bluegrass and oldtime musician. Larry was forced into exile and is an asylum seeker in North Carolina. Joe, after a decade in South America, got stranded back in his stomping grounds in the pandemic. Larry works construction to make ends meet. Joe's acclaimed "latingrass" band Che Apalache was forced into hiatus, and he shifted into action working with asylum seeking migrants.

  • Both men are versatile multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters on a mission to show that music has no borders. As a duo they perform a fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, guitar, maracas and whatever else they decide to throw in the van. The program they offer features a distinct blend of their musical inheritances and traditions as well as storytelling about the ways that music and social movements coalesce.

  • Schedule:

  • Thursday August 31st, 2023

    • 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Free Public Workshop 1 - FAC Recital Hall (189) - 1.5 hours for demo and 30 minutes for questions

    • Larry & Joe will teach students “El Gavilán Tocuyano de Pablo Canela,” something like the “Orange Blossom Special” of the Venezuelan fiddle tradition. This class is oriented towards intermediate/advanced fiddlers and cellists, but anyone that plays a melodic instrument can participate by learning the melody. Larry will also teach the chords to students wishing just to strum along. Joe will interpret.

    • 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm Free Performance on Campus - FAC Recital Hall (189)

  • Friday, September 1st, 2023
  • Workshop 2: 3:00 pm -5:00 pm - BG Rock Academy - FAC Recital Hall (189) - 1.5 for demo and 30 minutes for questions

  • Larry & Joe will teach students a two-chord gabán, a fundamental rhythmic and harmonic structure of la música llanera in 6/8. Students will learn how strings are used percussively through muting and golpes to create the iconic joropo feel. Though they will use the cuatro (an instrument intrinsically bound to the Venezuelan identity) as a teaching tool, this language is translatable to other string instruments like the banjo.

6:00pm
  • Location: KY Derby Museum
  • Time: 6:00pm

Discover WKU Louisville 

6:30pm - 8:00pm
  • Location: FAC 189

Admission is free, no tickets necessary, seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
