What does the term culture mean to you?

--Rosy Greenlees, OBE, World Crafts Council Executive Director 2006-2022

"Culture is a way of expressing ourselves as individuals and as communities."

The definition of culture is everything we produce and everything that makes us exist beyond our biological body. That means everything that we believe, all our ideas, spirituality, the things we eat, the way we talk, our language, the way we move, the way we move our hand while we’re talking, and the way countries organize themselves. For me, everything is cultural.
