Accelerating Cultural Exchange Through Emerging Technologies

As turbulent geopolitical circumstances and a global pandemic threaten to entrench divisions, the need for cultural exchange–or spaces where people can encounter and learn from ideas different from their own–is more apparent than ever. C/Change, a new initiative from the Goethe-Institut San Francisco and Gray Area, investigates how emerging technologies, when imbued with intentional design, can open up new channels for cross-cultural connection in a changing world.
