The term ‘Third Culture’ is becoming popular with many people because it acknowledges that heritage, traveling and new surroundings create a new sense of identity unique to each individual person’s journeys, experiences and values.
Explaining ‘where I belong’ is a challenge that can’t always be described in one simple sentence: our experiences and journeys are made up of moments and also long periods of time, and our sense of connectedness is developed through the people we meet and our online relationships.
We’re contributing to the growing voice of people who do not (and/or cannot) define themselves through a single nation-state, but rather, wish to be recognised as having pan-national status, beyond the definition and restrictions/limitations of one country, its culture and politics.
We’re starting with people currently living in Scotland – the aim here is to provide images which represent the categories we’ve defined as stages in migration, Preparation, Departure, Journey, Arrival, Acclimatisation,
Integration and Return, so that we can contribute to the represent of people who belong to lots of places in the rest of the world.
Whether you’ve travelled through many or few places, we invite you to share your photographs and encourage people to understand these journeys.
