Cultural Objects

Culture influences every aspect of life. Objects also have a history and reflect a cultural perspective. Therefore, they can be used to document the lives of a people. Some objects are special for its own culture. For example "evil eye bead" for Turkish people, matrushka babies for Russian people or maneki neko for Japan people are important things as folk symbols. Cultural objects travel in countries and the aim is to learn what these objects mean for the country it belongs. The importance of using objects gives clues to discover things about the culture of a people. Our objects travel in different countries and every partner learn what these objects means for the objects' folks and present them in drama, painting and e-journal. After binary matchings each two countries send their objects to each other. Our aim is to realize that it is not the objects that distinguish one group of people from another, but how people interpret, use, and perceive those objects.
