When traveling to another state, country, or even continent, it is not uncommon to be presented with an entirely new culture unlike one’s own. These new cultural experiences may come in the form of new customs, food, or even a completely different lifestyle. Arguably the most important, however, is the ability to experience new art.

Through examining the works of Pacita Abad, multicultural art becomes a lens with which we can view the world as a whole.
