Aim of the project

In this project I want to focus on individuals rather than their nationalities and break cultural stereotypes.

Nowadays, in the globalized world, national borders don’t really define culture.
With the increase of people living abroad and having influences by other cultures, with the media, the Internet, etc, they no more belong entirely to the culture they come from, each one has their own individual experiences that don't necessarily fit in what people know (or think they know) about the other culture.

We can't just label people by their nationality, we can’t create stereotypes of people who comes from the same country as it doesn’t make sense. We all are influenced by other cultures, no matter if we travel abroad or if we have always lived in the same place.

As Marjane Satrapi said in an interview:
“There is nothing in common, for example, between me and a fanatic of my country. There is nothing in common between a liberal person here [in the US] and the government of George Bush, yet they are both in the same country. But there are a lot of resemblances between the fanatics of my country and the government here.” (http://culturepulp.typepad.com/culturepulp/2008/01/the-culturepulp.html)

What I intend with this project is to make people to see other people not by where they come from, but as another human being. To make them see people as different individuals and to put them with more importance than their own nationality. Individuals on focus.

After all, we have no roots. We are all nomads, foreigners in this land.
