{"product_id":"incorporating-culture","title":"Incorporating Culture: How Indigenous People Are Reshaping the Northwest Coast Art Industry","description":"\u003cp\u003eFragments of culture often become commodities when the tourism and heritage business showcases local artistic and cultural practice. And frequently, this industry develops without the consent of those whose culture is commercialized. What does this say about appropriation, social responsibility, and intercultural relationships? And what happens when communities become more involved in this cultural marketplace? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIncorporating Culture\u003c\/em\u003e examines how Indigenous artists and entrepreneurs are cultivating more equitable relationships with the companies that reproduce their designs on everyday objects, slowly modifying a capitalist market to make room for Indigenous values and principles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving beyond an interpretation of cultural commodification as necessarily exploitative, Solen Roth discusses how communities can treat culture as a resource in a way that nurtures rather than depletes it.
