Diversity is dynamic and identity can’t be squeezed into a box. But what happens when you bring multiple, differing cultural values and identities into one space where they all must work together? Be that a music studio, a film set or a classroom. In this age of global citizens, third culture kids, gender awareness and multi-locals, how do we all get along? What does it mean to practice empathy and acceptance while holding on to (and standing up for) your own personal identity? And what are the benefits of engaging with diversity in your creative workspace?
