It has been a month since I launched my shop and I have not stopped learning new things. Well actually not all of them are new, some I already knew of, but chose to ignore. Since I started to design more and make it available to public I felt the need to be more responsible. I have to be more conscious on what to put out there for the world to see, to wear and to use. I need to be more aware of how the designs would impact people, their culture and tradition. One topic that I have been reading about is Cultural Appropriation. It is very common to misunderstand and I really need to do more research and learn more. You cannot just borrow others’ culture and use it as your aesthetic; worse is to make money out of it. It is disrespectful and a form of colonialism. I am sad to let go of using paper cranes and dream catchers but in this era, all of us need to learn and unlearn things. I will try my best to be more conscious moving forward . https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXgm3EHanYcS1YSf61oDPaxlJn41kYREO0Ufo0/?igshid=1ml5qlnpqvgov -- source link
