The Folk Union is an ongoing project about the contemporary revival of interest in folk culture. Rather than documenting traditions themselves, it looks at the conditions that shape how those traditions are rediscovered, shared and interpreted today.
Across essays, small publications and meetings, the project explores how people encounter folk culture today. In particular it asks what happens when customs and traditions that once grew out of everyday life begin to circulate through books, archives, social media and cultural projects.
