Reading material
- Cultural Perspectives in Film: The Wind Rises, Psychology Today. Arhtur P. Shimamura Ph.D
- Ai Weiwei has become a symbol of dissidence worldwide. It shows in his art, Vox. Lindsay Maizland
- Orientalism (?)
"It's a prison for freedom of speech." - Ai Wei Wei talks about being an artist in China. 'A city that doesn't really belong to its residents.'
- That phrase in particular made me think about freedom of expression in art, an yet Ai Wei Wei for instance is restricted when it comes to creating art, expressing certain content. Could it be due to the culture? Politics perhaps?
- Cultural disconnect - an interesting word I came across when I read a book on Hayao Miyazaki's animations. Basically not understanding the cultural context.

- If I weren't up to date with current news and history, I wouldn't possibly get the context or message behind that editorial piece. This made me think of ways of visually communicating
Themes, Subjects to look into
Cultural understanding and its relationship with visual communication
- Eastern + Western Culture --> International culture
