"Northwest Folklife’s 2023 Cultural Focus, Lagom: Not too much, not too little, but just right! This Scandinavian term speaks to the notions of balance. When change happens in a person’s or communities’ life, you have to adapt to your new environment and create a path for new beginnings. Just like metamorphosis, this requires direct involvement and participation."
