Gather: Folklives and Foodways

5–8 p.m. ET

How do community traditions inform where we’ve been and where we’re going? How are folklives an expression of our place in the world?

Join Maine Humanities and Chocolate Church Arts Center for a special public event celebrating the stories we tell through music and foodways, and what they say about our connections to the past and our hopes for the future. This evening event will include a community meal, musical performances, dance, and a panel discussion with the featured guests and performers: 

• Samuel James, blues musician
• Firefly the Hybrid, Penobscot Nation performer
• Jasmine Tintor (Penobscot) co-founder of Katahdin Kitchen
• Al-Mashreq Ensemble: Music of the Arab East
