271 Years Before Pantone, An Artist Mixed And Described Every Color Imaginable In An 800-Page Book

This Artist’s Photos of Mixed-Race Families Prove That Relationships Trump All Borders
“Mixed Blood” shows just some of many interracial families around the world. Unfortunately, there are still many societal factors that discourage ethnic, racial, and cultural mixing. These racist and xenophobic attitudes are still a cancer to society.

To document this mixing and the intersections of different cultures, Korean-American photographer CYJO spent three years between New York City and Beijing taking pictures of families. What came out of this exploration of race, culture and identity is an ongoing photo series called “Mixed Blood.”
