The current pandemic throws everything into turmoil, making us more widely connected by cyberlink, and more in tune with nature and inner mindset. This exhibit focuses on the diversity of life that promotes interactive relationships in communities. A self-sufficient group in any ethnicity may develop its own cultural identity, diverging significantly from its original character. Yet the members of urban tribes never completely take on the living style of the larger population in which they reside, and it is the differences that are most interesting. Here, we use a fresh perspective to view isolated pockets of disjointedness, and then interpret them in a larger context. We are all in a one-universe tribe.
Urban Tribes, of which this is the second part, examines how “tribe” and “community” have changed to apply to wider groups, defined by race, ethnicity, language, culture, art, economic dynamics, or even digital commonality. The resulting groupings form one of the urgent topics of the 21st century, which in many countries portend crises in political, economic, cultural, and environmental issues. Artists working in various media and representing various ethnic and cultural backgrounds conceptually address what it means to be part of these Urban Tribes. Here, the interconnection between mind, body, nature, culture, language, and how working with this concept of the urban tribe will pull a viewer through a symbolic journey.
