How much of what we consider “traditional” is actually inherited from the past, and how much has been reinvented along the way?
For our next meeting of Between the Lines, we’ll explore how traditions are created, reshaped, and passed down through generations. Our starting point is Tailor-Made: How the Soviet Union Invented the Kazakh National Costume, an article by Assiya Issemberdiyeva for Qalam.
The discussion will be led by Michael Hall, Board Member of CAPS Unlock, and will be held in English.

Join us for a conversation that starts with the Kazakh national costume but opens up a much bigger question: who gets to define tradition?
