CYJO’s Mixed Blood series depicts a waypoint in humanity’s progress toward a more integrated society, with the family unit as its base — as represented by specific families in two of the world’s most influential nations.
Mixed Blood is a group of photographs and texts created by CYJO between 2010 and 2013. It portrays families with children of “mixed” races, ethnicities, and cultures in New York City and Beijing. These photographs and narratives compel us to consider the distance our societies have traveled in our understanding of race, ethnicity and identity, as well as the distance we have yet to close, in our journey toward a more unified culture.
