The Bayou Culture Collaborative is a project of the Louisiana Division of the Arts Folklife Program and the Louisiana Folklore Society to help to sustain the traditional culture of coastal Louisiana in the face of land loss. Currently we support two types of workshops. Sense of Place—and Loss workshops bring together artists, tradition bearers, folklorists, and scientists to explore the connections between art, tradition, and science and to inspire advocacy and creativity in the face of land loss and cultural shifts. Passing It On workshops are taught by a tradition bearer to pass on a tradition within their community.
