Research and revitalization of urban folklore as the main element of festivities in former Jewish townships

Programme 2014 - 2020 Poland - Belarus - Ukraine ENI CBC

Date of latest update: 2022-02-14

Description

Description (EN):

Due to the historical events and political processes of the last century, migration of rural residents to the towns and disappearance of the Jewish population traditional for the city (town, shtetl), the shtetls also disappeared. And together with them, urban folklore and a traditional urban celebration, as a symbolic value that unites a diverse urban community, vanished as well. Nowadays, ethnographers and cultural activists on the Programme area collect and promote rural folklore mainly, which is confirmed by the developed traditional dance movement in Poland and Belarus, the publication of folk song collections, the exhibits of national costume collections, the emergence of musical bands, academic and independent ethnographic communities and festivals of traditional (Belarusian and Polish) culture. There are Kamyanitsa festival, Bereginya and Metelitsa traditional culture contests in Belarus. At the same time, urban (Jewish) folklore is poorly studied and difficult to access for research due to the events of the World War II, the mass emigration of the Jews and the closed nature of the Jewish community, which before the World War II accounted for about half (in some places up to 80-90%) of the urban population of the Programme area. The STETLFOLKFEST Project idea is to create the international route SHTETLFEST BY-PL which includes 6 former Jewish Belarusian and Polish shetls of the Programme area. This route will be used for promoting tangible and intangible Jewish heritage. The Project Coordination Team (PCT) will create a working group and organize an expedition to route locations for researching and collecting photo-video-narrative ethnographic objects. As a result of the expedition, the Media manual SHTETLFEST BY-PL with collected high-quality visual, text and sound materials will be designed and used for touristic route promotion. One of the route locations will be presented in the form of an interactive event in former shtetl Izabielin (Belarus) - the Open air festival SHTETLFOLKFEST. This event will become annual with changing location.
