Culture Crossing Boundaries..
Cultural appropriation is the act of borrowing components of another culture outside of their intended context. Cultural appropriation frequently entails the taking of components from an oppressed culture by a dominant culture without the creators or communities who popularized such cultural practices receiving credit, acknowledgement, or payment.
This project aims to throw light on such themes and tries to make the audience think in a way that says, Cultural appropriation is not always exploitation but might also be looked at as the world being one big platform and as 'Culture Crossing Boundaries'.
This particular poster takes into account the recent instance of Gucci, the famous Italian fashion house which faced backlash from the Sikh community around the world for using ‘Sikh Turban’ as a fashion accessory called ‘Indy Full Turban’ which was put on sale on their website of luxury department store Nordstrom. The people from Sikh community around the world were offended and called out both Gucci and Nordstrom for insensitive cultural appropriation.
