Bex Simon is a British Artsmith who has overcome difficult mental health issues to become highly sought after for her creative work in metal. Bex is unconstrained in her approach to design by combining geometric shapes and textures. Her sculptures and public art tell stories relative to the surrounding environment and can be found around the UK. Bex was born in Chertsey, Surrey in 1973, the third of four children—she has an older sister and brother and a younger brother. She reflects on a very strict upbringing from parents Tim, a computer programmer and Gel a retired teacher who later volunteered at a school for handicapped children; a relationship which has mellowed with time and understanding of Bex's mental health. Bex was attracted to the art of blacksmithing as a teenager and despite struggling at school with dyslexia, she studied at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design – Foundation graduating in 1992. In 1995 she graduated with a BA in Three-Dimensional Design in Metal Surrey from the Institute of Art and Design; followed in 1998 by a Diploma and National Certificate from Hereford College of Technology and in 2017 a Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Forge Work DFS from Herefordshire and Ludlow College. In 2019 she began studying Geometry at the Prince's Foundation School of Traditional Arts. In 1999 Bex moved to London and established her creative blacksmithing business with the help of the Prince's Trust. Initially, she worked on private commissions acquired from exhibiting regularly at RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows. Later, she moved on to larger scale public artwork projects via collaborations with a selected group of artist blacksmiths. Her biggest commission to date being a forty meter public artwork for Westminster Magistrates' Courts in London. It was for that installation that she became the first woman to receive the Tonypandy Cup; the most prestigious award given by the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths. Bex lives in North Devon with her husband Dave and their daughters Molly and Lyonie.

The son of an Italian schoolteacher and a rodeo cowboy turned preacher, Andy was born in Lubbock, Texas, in the spring of 1980. He grew up in the small community of Tokio, Texas, where his family paid rent on an old farmhouse by looking after a few head of cattle. It was there that Andy fell in love with traditional music by listening to his father's cassettes of cowboy songs. “Andy's vast and varied repertoire includes classic cowboy poetry recitations, obscure cowboy songs, dust bowl ballads, and blues. He also hosts a podcast, Cowboy Crossroads which features in-depth interviews with fellow musicians and poets. Andy has performed many times with folk legend Ramblin' Jack Elliott and the duo's performance at the 60th Newport Folk Festival was named one of the '10 Best Things We Saw' by Rolling Stone.” - https://andyhedges.com/about Together Dom and Andy explore the songs of the old west and often overlooked music of African American Cowboys in this rare and special performance. In this week's “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers a 1975 archival recording of Ozark original fiddler Charley Richardson performing the tune “Gold Rush,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. Author, folklorist and songwriter Charley Sandage presents an historical portrait of the people, events and indomitable spirit of Ozark culture that resulted in the creation of the Ozark Folk Center State Park and its enduring legacy of music and craft. In this episode, Charley profiles our very own Ozark original cowboy poet Glenn Ohrlin with an archival recording of Glenn reciting the classic Wallace McRae poem “Reincarnation.”
This is a cross-over episode with the Scottish Communities Climate Action Network's (SCCAN) podcast 1000 Better Stories. This episode is hosted by SCCAN Storyweaver, Kaska Hempel, who interviews me about the Shifting the Narrative Project. Shifting the Narrative is a research project I led at the University of Edinburgh from January 2022 until June 2022 engaging with over 50 storytellers who work with stories in relation to nature crises, nature connection, community and social change work, and environmental education. In these six months we collected and synthesised the experiences and wisdom of this group of people to come up with some good practice recommendations for communicators more generally. We found that dialogue is integral to traditional and performance storytelling and that most storytellers working in this area integrate some form of dialogue into their practice. The research also highlighted that the flexibility of stories to interpretation is story's super-power, enabling listeners to meet story wherever they are. Live performances create community at least for the duration of the event, while allowing diversity in interpretation. These key findings challenge mainstream communication around nature crises, which emphasise reaching as many people as possible through broadcast forms of storytelling and ensuring clear messaging. The University team consisted of myself (Alette Willis), Ramsey Affifi and Jule Hildmann in Education and Arno Verhoeven from the Edinburgh College of Art. Our Community Partners: SCCAN https://sccan.scot/ Traditional Arts and Cultures Scotland https://tracscotland.org/ Architecture and Design Scotland. https://www.ads.org.uk/ Our research was funded by the British Academy, which funds research to inform policy.

Many of Tennessee's traditional and folk art forms are carried on by small numbers of artisans. But since 2017, the Tennessee Arts Commission has been pairing up knowledgeable “masters” with “apprentices” to work to preserve traditions. Broom makers, shoe cobblers, luthiers and milliners, along with gospel singers, buck dancers, Kurdish musicians and square dance callers have taken part in the Tennessee Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. On today's episode, we hear from both masters and apprentices about preserving their crafts for the next generation, along with Director of Folklife Bradley Hanson, who launched and oversees the apprenticeship program for the arts commission. “The world is not telling kids to go become old-time fiddlers. It just isn't. But we are,” says Hanson. “We're a kind of cheerleader, booster, funder and advocate. … It's the state of Tennessee saying, ‘We value this.' ” But first, we're hearing the latest about the rising opposition to gender affirming surgeries from Tennessee Republicans, who are vowing to file new legislation. WPLN state politics reporter Blaise Gainey and senior healthcare reporter Blake Farmer will share what they learned while covering a heated rally on Friday in downtown Nashville. Guests: Jimmy Bilbrey, bluegrass musician and apprentice fiddle maker Jack Martin, broom maker and owner of Hockaday Handmade Brooms Arkan Doski, traditional Kurdish musician Manuel Delgado, luthier and owner of Delgado Guitars Bradley Hanson, director of folklife at the Tennessee Arts Commission Maxine White, milliner and owner of Maxie's Hats

"If you discard an item that a compulsive hoarder is attached to - it could be an empty box, a tin, or something like that. If you throw that particular item that they are attached to away, the grief that a compulsive hoarder will experience is the same amount of grief that one would experience with the loss of a loved one. The same intensity of grieve and mourning will be displayed as if you have lost a real person." Episode Description: We begin our conversation by outlining the differences between collecting, clutter, and hoarding. Stelios describes the hoarder's fortress of material items that parallels their emotional defenses that keep them from experiencing internal vulnerability and loss. He sees the goal of treatment as helping individuals transform from an intolerable to a tolerable interplay with the world and with others. We review the subject of behavioral cleaning of their homes which if not done sensitively can overwhelm the hoarder. He has found that it must be done in conjunction with psychotherapy if it is to aid the person's capacity to mourn. We close with his describing his difficult personal journey and how powerful psychotherapy has been in his life. Our Guest: Stelios Kiosses is a psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice. He studied psychodynamic counseling and clinical supervision at the University of Oxford and was previously trained in psychotherapy and experimental psychology at Sussex University. Stelios currently teaches at Harvard University Extension School. In his public role, he has acted as a UK TV psychologist and presenter for Channel 4's hit series The Hoarder Next Door narrated by Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman and currently is patron of the Prince's Foundation School of Traditional Arts one of HRH Prince of Wales core charities. His book The Power of Talking: Stories From The Therapy Room has just been published by Phoenix Publishing House.

In episode seven of the ਸੋਚ Podcast I get to talk with Simran K. Arts and Satnam Singh about traditional arts, sikhi and representation. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ ★ Buy this podcast a coffee ★ As usual, we start with getting to know Simran a little bit better, for instance, the importance of her grandfather's photography whilst she was a child and the V&A Museum whilst she was studying for her A-levels. We discover that it was restoration that was Simran's original interest before finding her passion in traditional arts. Amongst a whole lot more, we find out who Simran's inspiration is, her training in Persian miniature painting and the connection between traditional arts and the Divine and then we dive deep into the philosophical question of what is the most valuable characteristic you need to have as a traditional artist? Before moving onto the topic of traditional art and Sikhi, I provide three examples of traditional art: the showcase of Liberian music and dance at the 1901, 1926 and 1984 Worlds Fair, the construction of a cultural centre on Malaita, a Solomon island, that resulted in the revitalisation of the indigenous East Kwaio community and resurrection of dead art forms and, lastly, the colonisation of Hawaiian Hula, which has had such a lasting impact that many of us today are only familiar with the stereotypical, colonial trope of Hula dancing. We go about trying to define traditional art and Sikh art, discussing examples of traditional Sikh art such as sakhis and raag kirtan. An example I find particularly interesting is the gach and tukri embellishments of the inner walls of Sri Harmandir Sahib. Gach is a base formed by mixing crushed gypsum and water, and heating the mix to the right temperature until it reaches the consistency of a paste. The paste is then applied to the surface to be treated, and fine steel implements are used to etch floral and other designs in the paste before it sets. The next stage involves infilling these with sheets of gold leaf (varqs). In tukri work, pieces of coloured and mirrored glass, sometimes specifically made for the purpose, are cut and inlaid into gach to form patterns and textures with their myriad reflections and colour effects. We then dive deeper into traditional arts and Sikhi with questions such as, why are traditional art forms of indigenous communities outlawed or banned? Does the artist have a responsibility to be historically accurate? Does the artist have to be considerate of their audience? Does the artist always have to respect traditions? Where do you see Sikh art going? Does representation within art matter? We conclude with a community question - why does traditional art pre-occupy itself with natural materials?

In this podcast, Clifford Murphy, National Endowment for the Arts Director of Folk and Traditional Arts, introduces the recently announced 2020 NEA National Heritage Fellows. This is the country's highest honor—a lifetime achievement award—for folk and traditional artists whose life's work includes both artistic excellence and efforts to sustain cultural traditions for future generations.

We also talk about some of the ways the folk and traditional arts field has been impacted by the pandemic and creative adjustments that folk and traditional artists have made in response to the crisis. Murphy is not only enormously knowledgeable about the folk and traditional arts, but it's clear he holds a deep love for these arts and the people and communities that create them.

British painter Elisabeth Deane's love of Indian miniature painting was born from a trip to Shantiniketan in West Bengal in 2011. Inspired by the work of polymath Rabindranath Tagore, she went on to study under Rajasthani masters, and later at the Prince's School of Traditional Arts in London. Her work is a mix of rigid geometry and flowing figurative work, drawing from sources as varied as Persian and Indian miniatures and folklore to Islamic geometry. Her first solo-show, 'Rhythmic Measures', was held at Grosvenor Gallery in December 2019.
Anna Needham (Red Lake Anishinaabe) is an emerging theater artist, arts administrator, and a former NEA intern with Folk and Traditional Arts. Theater arts typically is an uneven career path (the performing arts aren't exactly a reliable source of income).

In this episode, we discuss the struggle to protect the sacred lands and culture of the Wixárika people, also known popularly as the Huichol, an indigenous group inhabiting the remote reaches of the Sierra Madre Occidental of Mexico. Our guests are Andrea Perez, Indigenous Environmental Justice Advocate, and Susana Valadez Director of the Huichol Center for Cultural Survival and Traditional Arts. Jessica Aldridge did the interview. Central to the ancient religion of the Wixárika is the yearly pilgrimage crossing the San Luis Potosí desert in the region of Real de Catorce to a sacred place called Wirikuta, the homeland of their ancestors. They would collect and ingest hikuri (the peyote cactus) as a tool to dialogue with the ancient spirits. Their sacred Wirikuta has been invaded, private properties have encroached on traditional pilgrimage routes, and 78 mining concessions have been granted to First Majestic Silver Corporation out of Canada. While this project purports to bring some jobs and economic development to the area, it also drains and pollutes water resources and limits access to their ancestral homeland. Andrea Perez Andrea Perez is a 23 year old, Indigenous Environmental Scientist and Geospatial Analyst. Her desire for people to build personal relationships with Earth is moved by her approach to the Climate Crisis as an Indigenous Environmental Justice Advocate. Her ancestral lands are currently under threat by foreign countries trying to exploit the rich land for profit.

Call and Response chronicles the origin story of TAPS, the Traditional Arts Program for Students. The North Carolina Arts Council created TAPS, a statewide network of after school programs, in response to community requests for traditional arts education taught locally, knee-to-knee, and across generations. TAPS is an intergenerational story. It's a story about community and pride in place. It’s a story about the role the N.C. Arts Council plays in helping North Carolinians use their artistic traditions to thrive as individuals and as communities. From pottery to bluegrass to the arts and crafts of the Haliwa Saponi tribe, TAPS programs across the state represent the diversity of North Carolina’s cultural life and heritage. Each program is uniquely shaped by the community, but all share three core values: Programs are affordable, and often free. Students learn the traditional arts of their own region, from teachers within their community. Music is taught by ear, and crafts are taught by hand. Through field recordings and interviews collected by N.C. Arts Council staff, this episode is the first of three in a new season of Arts Across NC that highlights the diverse TAPS programs across the state. This episode featured music from Phil Cook, the Camp Creek Boys and Madison Shepard. Learn more about the program at www.ncarts.org. _____ Arts Across NC is a podcast by and about the North Carolina Arts Council.

Tonight: Why to some think traditional martial arts is bullshit? Does every martial art HAVE to be about tapping people out or kicking ass? Is MMA turning toward the "pro wrestling" drama or is those trash talking rivalries for real? Is being kicked out of a dojo for flatly refusing to train in a class with women and teens a legit ground for expulsion? Why do some women play the gender card and pick fights with men, thinking men can't hit them? And More....depending on where the discussion goes!

Aug. 6, 2014. A concert by Phil Wiggins and Friends, an all-star blues and dance group including Phil Wiggins (harmonica), Rick Franklin (guitar and vocals) Marcus Moore (violin) and Junious Brickhouse (dance). Speaker Biography: According to the National Council for Traditional Arts, "Phil Wiggins is arguably America's foremost blues harmonica virtuoso. While rooted in the melodic Piedmont or 'Tidewater' blues of the Chesapeake region, his mastery of the instrument now transcends stylistic boundaries. Born in Washington D.C. in 1954, Phil Wiggins achieved worldwide acclaim over three decades as one half of the premier Piedmont blues duo of Cephas & Wiggins. Since the death of guitarist and singer John Cephas in 2009, Phil has brought his harmonica wizardry to bear in a variety of musical collaborations." Speaker Biography: Rick Franklin has been entertaining D.C.-area audiences with his own mixture of traditional Piedmont blues and early commercial "hokum" blues for over thirty years, and is one of the area's favorite blues musicians. Speaker Biography: Marcus Childs Moore is a Marion, Alabama, native who earned his bachelors in jazz violin performance from City College of New York in 2009, has performed with numerous musical greats and legends, and was a member of the Harlem Symphony Orchestra for two years. Speaker Biography: Junious "House" Brickhouse is an award-winning urban dance educator, choreographer, community leader and cultural preservationist, whose latest project is called "The Meaning of Buck Dance."

(Sep 5, 2014) Later this month in Washington D.C., a master basketmaker from Akwesasne will be honored with the nation's highest tribute in the folk arts. Henry Jake Arquette will receive a National Heritage Fellow award on September 19, the first such award for a Mohawk traditional basket weaver. At 83, the retired iron worker is one of the few individuals who still knows how to make the elegant, sturdy baskets. Today Arquette is a revered community elder and his baskets are in collections around the world. Todd Moe recently visited his basement workshop in Hogansburg, where he can still be found making a basket or two, and passing the traditional craft along to the next generation.

Balla Kouyate is a griot and virtuoso player of the balaphon. Considered the predecessor of the xylophone and the first Mande instrument, the balafon is made up of wood slats of varying lengths. The slats are secured over two rows of calabash gourds, which serve as natural amplifiers. Each gourd is punctured with small holes over which Balla places thin plastic tape. The vibrating air rattles the plastic to create the desired sound. Were he back home in Mali, Balla would use spider webs (collected from kitchen walls) to cover the holes. The first known balafon dates back to the 13th century and remains under the guardianship of the Kouyate family. It is considered a UNESCO-protected Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Once a year it is brought out and played during a ceremony. In this concert Kouyate performs with singer Adjaratou "Tapani" Demba, Sekou "Pablo" Dembele, Makane Kouyate, Idrissa Kone, Daniel Day, and Raja Kassis. Speaker Biography: To say that Kouyate was born into a musical family is an understatement. His family lineage goes back over 800 years to Balla Faseke, the first of an unbroken line of djelis, or griots, in the Kouyate clan. The members of this family are regarded as the original praise-singers of the Malinke people, one of the ethnic groups found across much of West Africa. Djelis are the oral historians, musicians and performers who keep alive and celebrate the history of the Mande people of Mali, Guinea and other West African countries. Kouyate frequently performs traditional music at weddings, baptisms, and other domestic ceremonies within the West African immigrant communities of Boston, New York City, and beyond, and also leads the fusion group World Vision. He often accompanies kora master Mamadou Diabate, 2009 Grammy winner in Traditional World Music, and in 2004 joined NEA National Heritage Fellow Sidiki Cond Kouyate for a month-long residency at Carnegie Hall. In 2010, Balla Kouyate was awarded a Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship in the Traditional Arts.
