‘Culture Unbound’ is a panel discussion bringing together emerging artists, designers, and curators who draw upon Asian heritage and intercultural identities within their work. Spanning installation, performance, photography, moving image, and sound, their distinctive practices offer nuanced reinterpretations of cultural and religious imagery, iconography, and ritual. 

This group of creatives bring forth unique cultural narratives, encompassing distinct cross-generational traditions rooted in national history, language, and social identity, while considering the impacts of migration and displacement. Within this artistic exploration, participating artists and designers embody diverse cultural identities, each tracing their family heritage through the lens of individual experience. The program begins with an interactive performance led by Aarushi Zarthoshtimanesh.
