| Introduction | My Fulbright Scholarship to Italy in 2006 began as a research project on the traditions and culture of three Saints' Feasts celebrations and then evolved into an exploration and appreciation of the folk art created as an integral part of the celebrations. When I returned to my home in Brooklyn I took a job as manager and buyer of the gift shop at The Bronx Museum of the Arts. I went from Italian folk art to contemporary, urban expressions embodied in graffiti and the hand-crafts and wearable art made by young NYC artists. I've moved on from The Bronx Museum but not away from artisans' work. I revisited my Fulbright research and began giving Powerpoint presentations about the Feasts I studied. And, I'm wrting more about travel, food and folk art. |
