"Beyond Boundaries: Tradition meets Globalization”
This work explores the theme of retaining a connection to tradition while transcending identity, cultural and geographical confines. It highlights the journey of exploring how tradition can be harmonized and adapted to the diversity and the dynamic and interconnected rhythms of the ever-evolving global beat.
“Beyond Boundaries” is specifically focused on diasporic children and their dynamic back-and-forth between their cultural heritage and traditions in the old world, and the contemporary and popular global culture in their new world. It highlights the need for these children to creatively embrace and blend diverse cultural influences, while finding a harmonious balance in the intersection of tradition and modernity.
This work strives to capture the fluidity and richness of the diasporic experience, where individuals navigate the complexities of identity while embracing the global cultural tapestry.
