When we refer to “culture” in the Elliott School, we often refer to culture as the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular ethnic group, without second thoughts on how powerful and multidimensional culture really is beyond this context. Thus, I will try my best to pick out events that are culturally enriching in every way possible (pun intended) from the performance arts to fashion. Enjoy, tips are welcomed.
