Jennifer Jenkins, an English professor at the University of Arizona, will be at the Museum of International Folk Art on Sunday, March 1 from 2 to 4:30pm to discuss her Tribesourcing Project. Tribesourcing is described as a “digital humanities project” where existing “social studies” films from the American Indian Film Gallery, made in the 1950s and ’60s, are re-recorded with new narration by Native American community members and tribal elders. This “tribesourcing” method allows for identification and dissemination of local knowledge that might otherwise be lost. During the talk Jenkins will demonstrate how the merging of old video and new audio works on tribesourcing.com. The Museum of International Folk Art is located at 706 Camino Lego in Santa Fe.
