Global Village

A Cuban farmer continues his family tradition by tilling his small patch of earth for a subsistence living after decades of the same back-breaking work. Similarly, a 9th generation Japanese indigo dyer walks stooped across the packed dirt floor of his family’s 200-year-old workshop. A market stall holder in Hoi An barters the price of fish and works for an easier life for her family, as does a young girl in Mumbai, studying hard and dreaming big. Across the world in Seattle, individuals strive for connection in a big city.

Wherever we come from and wherever we’re going to, we all have hopes and dreams and needs.

Global Village is about how those needs make us more similar than we think.
