Commercial Connections Introduction Teaser
Join Connecting Cultures on its journey around the world. In this Commercial Connections series, we will explore natural resources and the dizzying array of products we make with them to satisfy our needs. We will have opportunities to compare and contrast, side by side, the myriad versions of useful objects performing the same function.
From cooking pots to silk and spice jars to tiles, we will examine dozens of artifacts and art objects to discuss ideas like climate, immigration, trade, conquest, colonialism, and cultural diffusion. This series of videos imparts the important lesson that just because something is different, it isn’t therefore wrong.
