About DigiMyths

Digimyths is a project that grew out of a desire to support and explore the complex conceptual framework that individuals ("third-culture kids") who are raised in a culture other than that of their parents and family or their ethnic background erect, conjuring a deeply complex sense of who they are and where they belong. This conceptual environment or place fades as connections with family in person visits and trips to visit familial lands become sporadic or impossible—situations deepened by the impact of COVID-19. Holding on to one's heritage becomes harder. Digimyths is an effort that aims to reconnect individuals with heritage by contextualizing customs and stories, expanding understanding without geo-physicality.
