Answer 1

Answer:

Through native culture and art, a region can return to its roots and absorb native concepts at the expense of foreign concepts.

Explanation:

Native culture and art represents the entire representation of the ancestral societies of a region, which were not influenced by foreign cultures and which shows pure, delicate and intrinsic customs and concepts of the region in which they live. By stimulating this type of culture and art, a country is able to gain access to its roots, replacing foreign concepts with local and natural concepts and thus promoting a type of "detox" where decolonization and a rediscovery of cultural identity occurs.
