Strange encounters: A series of posters investigating the hybrid embodiment of Indo-Canadian identity

BALAKRISHNAN, Krishna ;

Article:

Postmodernism has been important in acknowledging many forms of “otherness” that emerge from differences in subjectivity, gender, race, class, temporal, spatial geographic location and dislocation. This has become a topic of interest among graphic designers as they explore design’s relationship with culture. This project, a series of creatures called The Avatars explore the use of graphic design to produce visual artifacts that discuss hybrid embodiment of Indo-Canadian identity. Using hybridity, Homi Bhabha’s concept of a “third space” identifies a metaphor for the space in which cultures meet. Where communication, negotiation, and translation bridge societies, a new space emerges.
