Session: Beyond These Four Walls: Optimizing Traditional Collections Through Outreach and Collaboration
With the advent of digital technology, image repositories are no longer limited to a single physical presence on campus or in a museum. This provides motivation for creative thinking and prompts the establishment of new working relationships within our own institutions as well as on a national level. As curators, librarians, and faculty become well versed in the use of digital technology, many have been able to optimize the development of their resources through successful collaborative ventures. This session will highlight some of these recent projects at academic institutions, museums, and cultural archives.

Such hybrid sites as the Seattle Art Museum's Olympic Sculpture Park and others are both public park space and in-depth learning ground for pertinent issues relating to art and environment. The bike rider passing through the park is as valued as the participant of a focused art activity. These sites act as cultural intersections where rigorous and impactful programming for multigenerational audiences fosters social, collaborative, and creative experiences.

Festival is considered as one of the key ingredients in culture development. This means that in an effort for a community to meet its cultural growth agenda, attention should be a place of the festival activity. This study is on the design of festivals and the knowledge about artforms in Agbeliza of Avenorpedo. The main objective is the identification of artistic componentsand understanding the symbolisms as used in the celebration of Agbeliza. Qualitative approach was used to describe the activities of the celebration. A participant observation, interview and questionnaire techniques were used to identify the major artforms. The main artforms showcased in the celebration of the festival were visual and performing arts. The results indicated the following credibility of knowledge of the Agbeliza celebration; 70% identified various art forms but did not understand them, 11.5% identified some and gave their own meanings and, 18.5% could not identify but saw them as something needed to enhance the celebration. It was found that the lack of understanding of the visuals that enhance the celebration of Agbeliza bridges the embarrassment of their cultural heritage. It was recommended that educating citizens and Ghanaians to learn to understand and manage their cultural heritage may provide them with adequate insight to avoid escalating negative feelings. Suggested approaches like, making and using approaches with field and school experiences were the expectations of the study.
Festivals are an expressive way to celebrate glorious heritage, culture and traditions. They are meant to rejoice special moments and emotions in our lives with our loved ones. They play an important role to add structure to our social lives, and connect us with our families and backgrounds. They give us a distraction from our day to day, exhausting routine of life, and give us some inspiration to remember the important things and moments in life. Festivals were started to pass the legends, knowledge and traditions onto the next generation.
All festivals are cultural in one way or another. There are many types of cultural festivals such as National, Religious and Seasonal. They all serve the purpose of bringing happiness to our lives, and strengthen our sense of community.
2. Different types of festivals
There are different types of festivals i.e. cultural/religious and
artistic/media.
Cultural and Religious- Chinese new year,eid mela,st Patricks
day etc.
Artistic and Media –
artfeast.dance,festivals,glastonbury,glasglow film festival
3. Although some religious festivals occur each year on a set date,
many religious festivals occur at different times each year. This
is because most religious holidays or festivals are based on a
fixed date.
Productions by internationally renowned media artists and the
innovative works of new masters from the academies will be
presented at the 23nd European Media Art Festival (21-25 April
2010). The EMAF is one of the most influential forums of
international Media Art. As a meeting point for artists, curators,
distributors, gallery owners and an audience of specialists, the
festival has a great impact on the topic and aesthetics of Media Art.
Each year the festival offers its visitors a current overview of new
experimental films, performances, lectures, an exhibition and the
Media Campus
4. What are festivals?
A festival is an event, usually and ordinarily
staged by a local community, which centres on
and celebrates some unique aspect of that
community.
Among many religions, a feast is a set of
celebrations in honour of God or gods. A feast
and a festival are historically interchangeable.
However, the term "feast" has also entered
common secular parlance as a synonym for any
large or elaborate meal. When used as in the
meaning of a festival, most often refers to a
religious festival rather than a film or art festival.
5. In the Christian liturgical calendar there are two
principal feasts, properly known as the Feast of
the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas) and the Feast
of the Resurrection, (Easter). In the Catholic,
Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican liturgical
calendars there are a great number of lesser
feasts throughout the year commemorating
saints, sacred events, doctrines, etc.
6. Functions
Festivals, of many types, serve to meet specific needs,
as well as to provide entertainment. These times of
celebration offer a sense of belonging for religious,
social, or geographical groups. Modern festivals that
focus on cultural or ethnic topics seek to inform
members of their traditions. In past times, festivals
were times when the elderly shared stories and
transferred certain knowledge to the next generation.
Historic feasts often provided a means for unity
among families and for people to find mates. Select
anniversaries have annual festivals to commemorate
previous significant occurrences.
7. DANCE FESTIVALS
Showcasing a huge range of dance styles
at venues across the city and the West
Midlands region, IDFB 2010 is the region’s
biggest dance festival. It will animate the
city with a world-class programme of
outstanding dance performances from
around the globe, large-scale events for
mass public participation, workshops,
commissions and debates.
8. Chinese Festival
The Spring Festival is the most
important festival for the Chinese
people and is when all family members
get together, just like Christmas in the
West. All people living away from home
go back, becoming the busiest time for
transportation systems of about half a
month from the Spring Festival.
Airports, railway stations and long-
distance bus stations are crowded with
home returnees.
9. The dance festival and the Chinese festival is deferent
because the Chinese festival is very colourful and its kind of
like a parade because everyone has weird and original
costumes. They also have unique face paints and they have
huge dragon which is a symbol for them. is a form of
traditional dance and performance in Chinese. culture. Like
the lion dance it is most often seen in festive celebrations.
Many Chinese people often use the term "Descendants of
the Dragon" as a sign of ethnic identity, as part of a trend
started in the 1970s, however the true derivation is from the
descendants of Shennong the legendary first king of the
Chinese people who taught them agriculture, law and
medicine, the foundations of civilization. However this
festival is kind of like the dance festival because they do
different Chinese dancing and this event is also very live
because everyone joins in.
