Cultural identity is in itself a paradox defined by both a personal and communal experience. The individual identity reflects a timeless continuity, and a sense of uniqueness, yet it is woven into universal connections and affiliations. No one can fully articulate the culture experience to the satisfaction of another, yet the whole is incomplete without the sum of its parts. “Our” cultural identity is not one story of a people, but a collective of individual voices that contribute to the greater whole. This group exhibition is a visual exploration of these stories
