On a hot day this past summer, I had the opportunity to capture footage, help direct, and edit videos about the Smithsonian Folklife Festival

The Will To Adorn program at the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival explored the identity and culture of African Americans through the lens of dress.

Earle Bannister, a Baltimore tailor, talks to presenter Althea Grey-McKenzie about the history of voguing, a dance style that originated in the African American and Latino American LGBT ballroom communities of the 1980s.

Milliner Anthony Gaskins discussed the history of hats in the African American community and also displayed some of his work in a fashion show at the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival.

The performances of Urban Artistry, an international collective of artists and dancers, reveal how street culture aligns music and dance with dress.

On the last day of the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, we are delighted to bring you our tenth gallery of visitor photos.

After ten days of extraordinary performances, workshops, and demonstrations, the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival is officially over.
