Fruitlandia: Understanding Cultural Appropriation

What is the difference between appreciation and appropriation of culture? How do you respectfully regard the contribution of artists and leaders of a culture that is not your own? What does it mean to adopt a culture that you did not learn from childhood? Explore these questions and more in the allegory of Fruitlandia. This workshop tool has been used successfully in the classroom, board rooms, camps with adults and children of various races and cultures. This text can be useful to individuals, groups and facilitators as we explore conversations of culture and appropriation.
