Celebrating May in April


This video is from one of Felicia McMahon's students who assisted Syracuse University's May Fest (in April). I spent most of the morning and afternoon taking donations for the Clay Cow Project where Angelo, Makram and Gabriel demonstrated their artwork. The weather was beautiful, the crowd very interested in the project and the sales rather successful. It was a win-win-session for everyone involved. The theme of the tent was Folk Art and the Sudanese men presented, as well as Vietnamese dancers and calligraphers, Congolese dancers, Ukranian knitters and a Native American lacrosse stick maker. Multicultural perspectives will always make me happy as an American. As one of the Sudanese men stated, "America is multitribal." I think that says a lot.
