Full Description

Baskets and the Burdens They Bear explores how a seemingly simple woven object can sustain community resilience and personal well-being. Once common household tools, baskets carry family stories and memories while allowing makers to express identity and find purpose and meaning in their lives.

Tracing the lives of individual makers across Indiana from the 1800s to the present, author Jon Kay demonstrates that baskets and other traditional arts are not obsolete objects but time-tested and community-proven strategies for navigating life's challenges. While some may no longer need baskets for their modern lives, everyone still needs the work that basketry once provided—fostering social and intergenerational reciprocity, strengthening personal and community well-being, and cultivating a sense of mastery and satisfaction. Kay remembers the dozens of basket makers he has researched, documented, and worked with over the course of his life as a folklorist, including a Miami artist's revitalization of elm bark basketry, the hidden history of Brown County's oak rod baskets, the traditional knowledge of Mennonite basket making, and the work done by two refugees in Indianapolis who repurpose plastic strapping to recreate baskets they learned to make as boys in Burma. From essential farm tools to symbols of a romanticized pioneer past, avenues to develop individual artistry, and sustainable projects that look toward the future, these everyday creative practices forge intergenerational connections, foster personal resilience, and sustain community well-being.

Featuring a local study with a universal message, Baskets and the Burdens They Bear reveals the true burden baskets and other everyday expressive acts carry: their enduring ability to connect people to one another and to the places where they make their home.
