Find your creative roots

Creative Roots is a fancy little site that seeks to “represent nations through art & design”. They launched their re-design yesterday and it looks great and works rather well.

Despite the globalization of Internet access, it isn’t always easy to find examples of creative work from abroad—the site includes graphic design, architecture, art and photography. As some of you may know, the development of identity is a bit of an obsession of mine. In the Common Thread Exhibition we curated in late 2009, designers from around the world explored how origin or ethnicity influenced their creative voice.

With over 140 countries currently represented on Creative Roots, there’s no excuse for leading sheltered creative lives. NIce!
