Having exhibited in Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Dubai, Malaysia and Fiji. What’s next? For Raj, “the moon!” The digitization of the INTERCULTURAL Artist Talk with Shana Nys Dambrot, the Artist Introduction video and the Sound Art collaboration by Grammy Awarded Nelly Furtado will be immortalized in what Peralta calls, “a message in a bottle for future humans.”
​
“It was a pinch myself moment when INTERCULTURAL was welcomed aboard the Lunar Codex Polaris mission. I sincerely hope the preservation of INTERCULTURAL in the time capsule and the placement on the moon serves humanity for all eternity.”

Here on Earth, Raj, a Certified Teaching Artist published the INTERCULTURAL Diversity, Equity and Inclusion curriculum guidebook for professional and youth development. Hard and soft cover editions are available for order at www.interculturalworldwide.com.

HUFFINGTON POST
"Every aspect of artist Sheinina Raj’s photography-based practice is undertaken in a singular spirit of progressive humanism. Knowing the power of the pure expressive gesture, Raj uses herself -- both her story and her body -- as both the intuitive site and narrative touchstone for what is ultimately a deeply personal and generously universal message of peace, acceptance, and beauty."
Miami New Times
"It's never been more important to be reminded of the one thing we all have in common: our humanity. Intercultural an exhibition showing that people are more alike than their differing style of clothes, bank accounts, or manner of speaking will have us believe."
The Argonaut
"People are always asking Sheinina Lolita Raj where she’s from. It’s often the first question she gets from a stranger, and it’s a complicated one to answer. Her father is Indian. Her mother is English. Raj was born in the U.K. and raised in Canada. And throughout her life, people have assumed she’s Mexican, Armenian or Persian, among other ethnicities."
Time Out
"Dive deep into an artist’s understanding of cultural boundaries and identity during a conversation with photographer Sheinina Lolita Raj, whose photographs tackle both subjects unflinchingly. In the midst of her collaborative exhibit, INTERCULTURAL, Raj and a moderator discuss the motivations behind her work. After the chat, walk through the installation, which features a sonic aspect created by Nelly Furtado."
Fiji Times
"I tell the story of my ancestry and links to Fiji, from when my great-great grandmother was kidnapped from Goa, India, at the age of six and brought to live in Lautoka. It is a story I have longed to tell for years, and helped to inspire the INTERCULTURAL exhibition."
