In a rapidly changing place like Charlotte, it's easy to turn inward, to familiar circles of friends and family. It can be hard to reach out to new people.

This exhibit is designed to give you a start exploring the cultures of our region. Who are we? How are people from our different cultures, old and new, interacting? What new traditions are we creating?

If [people] do not know one another's stories, how can they know whether or not to trust one another? People who do not trust one another do not help one another, and moreover they fear one another.

- Wendell Berry, Southern author
