Submission Guidelines

“Woven Fragments of the Past”– My work titled Woven Fragments of the Past is a picture that I took when I traveled to San Andres Islas, Colombia. I visited a restaurant that had a large display of woven baskets; each a different size, shape, color, and design. It reminded me about how our cultural past is embedded in our surroundings, even if we don’t realize it. Culture is everywhere and you cannot escape it. This work relates to cultural anthropology because it is a physical representation of the impermanence of life, and yet because of that customs, traditions, values, and people are able to evolve.
