Globalization

To me this means the expansion of experience and influence beyond ones immediate culture and context. I would imagine the more we “travel” through communities and interact with others, the more we are impacted by the people in those communities who come to them rich with their own travels, sharing and influencing each person around them. 
     Aweiwei  to me is a beautiful example of how he uses art to make statements bout the Chinese culture and then works hard to get the message out in spite of his home country wishing it did not.  Globalization in terms of technology has made this possible for him, and likely kept him alive.
     The concept to me represents the expansion and accessibility of other cultural art as well as the combining of multicultural ideas.
