Syncretism refers to the blending or merging of different cultural or artistic traditions, resulting in a new and unique combination. It often occurs when two or more cultures come into contact and exchange ideas, leading to the creation of something that incorporates elements from each culture.
Cultural Exchange: Cultural exchange refers to the sharing of ideas, customs, and practices between different societies. It involves the transfer of knowledge, beliefs, and artistic expressions through interactions between individuals or groups.
Hybridity: Hybridity is the result of combining elements from multiple sources or origins. In art, it refers to works that incorporate diverse influences or styles to create a unique aesthetic.
Appropriation: Appropriation is the act of borrowing or taking inspiration from existing artworks, images, symbols, or cultural artifacts for use in one's own creative work. It often involves recontextualizing these borrowed elements in order to convey new meanings.
