Welcome to the outside of the inside. Or the inside of the outside.
(Either way, it may not even matter…)
This blog is dedicated to the understanding of the cultures and diversities that exist in this world. Thorugh the various modes of expression: text, audio, visual, etc., in(the)seeks to contextualize that which is personally “out of context.”
It is the differences in this world that bind us.
But these differences mean nothing unless one can think about them, analyze them, digest them. There is no need for immediacy or understanding, however. This blog does not seek understanding. That would promote homogeization.
Like a rose garden, the floral beauty and impact is much greater when there is a vaiety in shape, color and vibrancy, versus a few idenetical ones, alone.
And so you can call this blog a commentary. A cross-cultural, artistic commentary, by no means accurate or restrictive. limited by personal experience, financial insufficiency and admitted, unconscious-cultural bias.
It is only until we recognize the similarities and appreciate the differences of cultures common and not, that we can ultimately celebrate ourselves and the world in which we live.
—Yours truly, In(the)Out.
