Cultures in Transition: The World’s Reality
“Cultures in Transition” focus on the interdependence that has come to characterize relations between cultures—a sense of shared problems and concerns; of multivalent exchanges, whether political, economic, or artistic. How does photography represent people both to others and to themselves? Operating in the space between anthropological and documentary photography, and questioning the assumptions of both, this issue explores new ways to depict cultures and peoples in an interdependent world.
