Cultural heritage art forms create and reflect meaning, identity, and community, but we can become overly focused on cultural differences, or else assume that there is a universal artistic language. But what if we can dig into—and challenge—both perspectives? In Common Ground, we bring together traditional artists and cultural practitioners who are rooted in different cultural traditions to demonstrate their work, share with one another, and discuss their similarities and differences.
