Cultures approach each other by way of travel and communication. I use to call it accultulation. What is meant by acculturation? Cultural modification of an individual, group, or people by adapting to or borrowing traits from another culture; also : a merging of cultures as a result of prolonged contact. The process by which a human being acquires the culture of a particular society from infancy.

It can also refer to "the process by which Western culture is being exported and diffused into other nations.
The International Art Group and artists invited to participate in 2017 Culture Bridge exhibition aim to create a dialog between cultures, using our many different art forms. Mariana Buchwald Founder of Iinternational Art Group.
