Respect & access

Specificity is a form of care

Culturefold uses eight boundaries across every cabinet so cultural exchange does not collapse many communities into one visual shorthand.

01

Plural, not singular

Asian arts span many regions, languages, histories, communities, and contemporary practices.

02

Source before assumption

Describe what is visible before asking which maker or community source supports interpretation.

03

No identity from appearance

A face, garment, instrument, or motif does not prove nationality, religion, or intent.

04

Permission before reuse

Do not copy sacred, closed, ceremonial, community-owned, or living-artist work without permission.

05

Compare without ranking

Difference does not create a ladder of authenticity, age, simplicity, or sophistication.

06

Credit makers

Use identity, title, date, medium, source, and permission supplied by an authoritative record.

07

Access is participation

Offer clear paths, seating, sensory choice, communication choice, and a pass option.

08

Authorized adults with children

No profiles, chat, uploads, location, attendance, or unrestricted adult-minor contact.
