Depicting Cultures Different than Your Own

Tantz_Aerine at Feb. 10, 2018, midnight



Depicting a culture different to ours can be a tricky process. There are a ton of pitfalls involved, from showing a stereotypical (right down to racist) almost fetishized version of the actual culture to presenting it in a light directly connected to the author’s/creator’s culture (therefore either in a negative …
