We live in an increasingly international world when different cultures are coming into contact and intersecting. This crossing of cultural borders inspires a reevaluation of identity and place within society as traditional divisions between heritage, tradition, and identity fall away. The changes brought about by interaction of cultures provide challenging opportunities for redefinition. They are also the source of apprehension as previously held beliefs and cultural definitions change. This exhibit will explore the opportunities and apprehensions produced in a world where cultures collide.
