Together We Can Rule This Land introduces tools for understanding and interpreting the process of cultural diffusion and homogenization: the unfamiliar becomes familiar; the unfamiliar is made familiar. Hybridized images and objects, each utilizing or involving a combination of text, signifiers, and materials ask viewers to consider what intercultural processes mean to them. The title speaks to [the artist’s] interest in interdisciplinary and trans-cultural crossovers between revitalization of historical methods, materials, and approaches combined with daily living in the present.
