Cultural Objects and Their Culture

When it comes to forming people’s identities and perspectives on the world, culture is crucial. People may fully immerse themselves in the essence of many civilizations and subcultures through cultural artefacts, uncovering their historical narratives, values, and significance within the larger scheme of things. The purpose of this article is to analyses three cultures and subcultures, each of which is significant to the author personally. The exploration of representative artefacts symbolic of various cultural identities will continue.

Personally, I place a high emphasis on African American culture. It succeeds in letting go while leaving a path of tenacity and inventiveness. The traditional West African textile known as Kente Cloth serves as an emblem of this culture (Asamoah-Yaw & Safo-Kantanka, 2017). Due to the interplay of artistic flare, communal values, identification security, and historical authenticity, every detail on the textiles has significant cultural significance. The Kente fabric, which is frequently worn on important occasions to honour ethnic pride, attests to the persistence of African Americans and their connection to African origin.

Reverberations ricochet harmoniously sending messages of appreciation, warmth, and enduring tranquilly engraved on souls through seamless rhythms and strong rhema imbedded with wisdom accumulated through succession of epochs through the depth of lyrics that are descriptive of nature and culture. A T-shirt with Bob Marley’s image and unforgettable remarks, which represents Ethiopianism culture (Amenorvi, 2019), stands out in striking contrast and is extremely popular among cultural enthusiasts. This t-shirt embraces the passion of reggae music while standing for universal ideas like social responsibility and equality. The main message of reggae is to bring people together and advance morals in society. Reggae is proof that society is progressing together, as shown by the diversity of these events.

Thanks to my connections inside the Volkswagen VW Bug Club, possibilities to connect over beloved Volkswagen Beetles result from this relationship (Charach, 2023). The silhouette of a vintage Volkswagen Beetle is stylized to represent a classic symbol of free spirits, exemplifying eccentricity, desire, and infatuation with iconic cars from the past. documenting how society is affected when technology advances.
