Description

Transculturation is a cultural phenomenon that extends beyond the simple gathering of cultures. It involves the integration and sublimation of unique cultural expressions.

This narrative project suggests a transcultural lifestyle that takes place on the train. Cities, towns, landscapes, and borders are carefully mapped out, with attention paid to each country's cultural essence. Design elements are added to the train, landscapes, and stations to visualize a transcultural operation.

The project outcome includes a journey timetable and a world-building drawing that narrates a journey from Paris to Istanbul. It illustrates how a transcultural experience empowers people, and how these cultural expressions mix and match, creating a dynamic and ever-evolving tapestry of new cultures.
