Catfish Alley Folk School (CAFS) is a creative platform by Brett Ratliff offering opportunities for community engagement in folk and traditional arts. CAFS offers various musical instrument classes, workshops, concerts and much more. CAFS was founded on the idea that cultural constructs are the pillars that uphold societal structures, encompassing the shared, collective ideas or notions that originate from a culture. They play a significant role in shaping our worldviews, thoughts, and behaviors. Cultural education binds people together through shared practices, values, and norms, fostering a sense of belonging and unity. This framework also offers an interpretive lens through which we understand our world and navigate social interactions. In an increasingly mainstream society, understanding the nuances of different cultures and their constructs becomes critical to fostering inclusivity and respect for diversity.
