More than 200 million people live today out of their countries, and the majority of them are originated
from the third world countries while only a minority of them had the chance to be accepted in developed
countries, where different mechanisms are used to open the doors only for well educated and
elites coming from poor countries. Anyway, no matter where these populations are situated, their first
concern after finding the elementary conditions of life is how to find a way to conserve or reproduce
and even develop their original culture as a means to have their identities preserved. In recent years
the melting pot theory shows more and more its appropriateness for analyzing the immigrated communities,
this is in opposition to theories which argue that the reconstruction of communities in the
host country is not a problem for their integration, but a path to their prosperity at least in the cultural
domain. The art, in all its forms, especially in developed countries is one of the best ways to produce
and reproduce the original cultures. In this paper the author, has based his argument on a theoretical
framework on the art as a means of community construction identity, giving examples in Iranian and
some other diasporic communities. Nevertheless the argument concerns about a risk of deviation and
development of a sort of exotic approach to the others’ culture.
