The image shows a group of people gathered around a table in a large room with arches and columns. The table is covered with a white tablecloth and there are several books and pamphlets on it. The people are engaged in conversation and appear to be engaged in a discussion. Some of them are holding books, while others are looking at them intently. There is a banner in the background that reads "Smithsonian Folkways" and there is a cardboard box on the table. The room appears to be a conference or event space with a high ceiling and ornate decorations.
