ABOUT: Cultural Survival Bazaars

The Cultural Survival Bazaars are a series of cultural festivals that give Indigenous artists, their representatives, and fair trade companies from around the world the chance to sell their work directly to the American public. They also expose over 35,000 Americans each year to Indigenous art, music, and culture, while giving visitors a chance to talk with Indigenous artists directly.

In the past seven years alone the bazaars have generated over $3 million for indigenous artisans, fair trade businesses, indigenous communities’ programs, and Cultural Survival’s work on behalf of indigenous peoples..

Every year, hundreds of artists and their representatives sell traditional crafts, artwork, clothing, jewelry, carpets, and accessories.

The bazaars also offer a wide assortment of cultural performances, from the live music of Ecuadorian Band Yarina (yarinamusic.com) to the traditional Native American storytelling by Leonard Fourhawks, telar (loom) demonstrations by Zapotec weaver Jose Buenaventura Gonzalez, Algonquin/Abenaqui artist Lenny Novak, and craft-making demonstrations by Zimbabwe's Shona artisan Bernard Domingo.
