cross-cultural art
Transnational creative expression
Cross-cultural art refers to artwork that emerges from the interaction, exchange, or blending of two or more distinct cultural traditions.
Such work may result from artists engaging with traditions outside their own heritage, from collaborations between artists of different backgrounds, or from the natural mixing that occurs in multicultural societies.
The term encompasses both historical phenomena like the influence of Japanese prints on Impressionism and contemporary practices where artists deliberately bridge cultural boundaries.
The museum's cross-cultural art exhibition featured works that combined Indigenous Australian techniques with European abstraction.
