Following the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center, many institutions felt that art might offer a way to foster understanding between different cultures. What was the surprising discovery made by anthropologist Jessica Winegar about such efforts?

She realized that many of these works of art reinforced existing stereotypes and dichotomies about different cultures.

Explanation:

Talking about different cultures is very difficult, especially when you decide to speak about cultures that you do not know deeply and only know information told by other people who also do not belong to that culture, but believe they understand for some reason.

As was seen in the question above, after the 9/11 attack, some artists had the idea of representing some cultures through art. The intention of these artists was good, since they wanted to promote an understanding between different cultures. However, many of them ended up stimulating stereotypes and dichotomies about the cultures represented. This is a reflection of the lack of understanding and experience with people from different cultures.

Just never remember this negative feelings and remain happy with her.
