About

Hybrid Horizons is a creative project exploring people’s relationships of mixed culture and how it relates to their identities. Participants have relocated from their native country or have originated from multiple cultural backgrounds. We explore how these fusions affect their personal sense of culture and identity.

The project is a visualization of the evolving population of our world; with increasing globalization, people are exploring different countries and cultures. As humans, we inherently have a strong sense of identity, and culture can be a large part of that. Once we begin to combine our culture with others, we simultaneously gain something new and lose something old.

Assimilating into new cultures can be exciting but also intimidating. How do we navigate these challenges and how do they affect our sense of identity? By trying to understand each other and our cultural differences, we learn, promote acceptance, practice empathy, and encourage an open-minded mentality.
