The internationalization and its process of globalization would call into question the national identities and impose dominant cultural models.

From a multiethnic and multicultural island, Kako through research of its roots (which may be the omnipresence of the tree in his work) tries to prompt us to take consciousness of the fact that we must resit this tendency of uniformity and that instead cultivating our own hermetic culture and identity, to distinguish us from the others, we must move towards interculturality that pushes us to be more open and all embracing in our diversity.

The artist who could make his own the maxim of the poet and writer Edouard Glissant ‘’Do what you have to do where ever you are, think together with the world’’ lead to a re-approprition of these multiple identities, ethnicities, cultures and languages and out of this meshing, this confrontation, this fusion, perhaps will arise the emergence of a new form of plural identity, linked with respect of Diversity.
