Mixed Blood is a photographic and textual project portraying NYC and Beijing based families that include children with “mixed”races, ethnicities, and cultures. Mixed Blood questions and diffuses the historical categorization process of race/ethnicity and focuses on connective, cross-cultural experiences. The portraits and accompanying narrative sillustrate the varying relationships family members have with their backgrounds, cultural context and citizenship. This unifying of race and cultures within a family unit continues to influence the evolution of American and global identity today.
Artist CYJO's solo show Mixed Blood will be on display at Three Shadows Photography Art Centre
