Summary
As a statewide organization, New York
Folklore is always looking to strengthen
our reach to diverse regions of the state. A
grant from the National Endowment for
t he Arts is helping us do just that! New
York Folklore is prioritizing fieldwork. We
are developing a network of community
scholars who will document traditional
arts throughout the state. These fieldworkers
are supported by New York Folklore
staff, headquartered in the Capital Region.
Our fieldworkers represent diverse
communities and levels of experience. We
are excited to welcome (or welcome back!)
this exceptional group of women to the
field: Divena Ramessar, Akilah Briggs Melvin, Nada Odeh, and Ladan Nikravan.
