Abstract

This article presents a project of empowering local communities in eastern Sumba to preserve their folklore. Culture encounters in globalized world encourage local communities to reflect on the dynamics and vitality of their own culture. Given the fact that oral-based communities are marginalized in articulating their cultural identity, this project aimed to involve local communities in eastern Sumba to preserve their folkloric expressions. Activities comprised focus group discussions, folklore research, and digital documentation of folk music and dance. This project is expected to establish collaboration between scholars and local communities to promote the importance of local knowledge preservation and the needs for the digital documentation to support future data preservation.
