Our Philosophy
We are a dynamic social enterprise and intercultural creative destination that promotes future-oriented perspectives and experiences through a journey of discovery, collaboration, and contribution within the creative, cultural, and tech sectors.
We show similarities between things previously thought to be unrelated.
Our Journey
Created as an international on/offline destination in 2015 for educational cross-cultural projects, expression, and exchange, our mission is to broaden perspectives by showcasing the intersections between seemingly unrelated elements, and how and what connects people and cultures.
In the spring of 2016, we introduced our first interactive exhibition concept, featuring works by renowned and emerging artists such as Dries van Noten, Stella Jean, Dj Kentaro, Odesza, Olivia Rose, and many more, part of a semi-permanent collection in the cultural center of the Dutch Embassy of Jakarta, Indonesia.

at the intersection of
creativity, culture
and technology
In 2019, we developed a site-adaptive concept, transforming spaces into vibrant creative interspaces hosting meetups, events, workshops, exhibitions, and a fusion café. Despite the global pandemic, we adapted by combining digital transformation with meaningful in-person experiences as we work to rebuild.

Mission
Our mission is to connect people and cultures by highlighting what we have in common rather than our differences. We seek to illuminate connections between seemingly disparate elements, uniting people, cultures, and places within a collaborative creative ecosystem. We aim to contribute to global peace, advocate for human and animal rights, and strive to live in harmony with our environment, promoting harmony where it’s needed most. Learn More About Our Mission
Vision
Our vision is rooted in the belief that “the blend within” our identities and cultures, composed of many diverse elements, allows us to connect based on what we have in common, holding the key to meaningful connections.
Approach
Since 2015, The Blend Within has been at the forefront of addressing the complexities and divisions created by traditional diversity policies. Recognizing the escalating challenges these policies can pose, we have chosen to celebrate “similarities” instead of focusing solely on “diversity” as a solution.
Our Guide to Finding Common Ground provides practical tools to help you explore shared values and build stronger, more meaningful relationships. Begin today and discover how we can all connect.

The Blend Within is engaged in ongoing digital and in-person transformations, including a forthcoming project exploring cross-cultural identity and the return of Blend Society, a series of bi-monthly meetups. Get To Know The Team
