Cultural diffusion is the spread of culture, including aspects such as clothing and food, from one group to another, typically as a result of making contact for the first time. European explorers bringing back foods and other items, such as tobacco, from newly explored lands is an example of cultural diffusion.
When one culture begins to adopt elements of another, be it in manner, religion, food, clothing, agricultural practice or other cultural elements, this is cultural diffusion. People in Moscow experienced cultural diffusion from America when McDonalds was first introduced in that region. The concept of a fast-food restaurant serving hamburgers was exotic and new to them at that time. Cultural diffusion isn't
necessarily a good thing, however. It can lead to the displacement of native cultural traditions, and it can even be dangerous. For example, according to Boise State University, when French explorers arrived in North America, they introduced the smallpox virus, which ended up devastating populations of natives whose immune systems had never been exposed to that particular disease.

Brazilian culture has been shaped by various groups of migrants: Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, African, Arabian and German, and to a lesser extent by original inhabitants, just to mention the most important influences. Different population groups and different cultural customs and visual cultures mingled.
This is reflected in Brazilian food, for example. The daily menu of an average family may include Portuguese, Japanese, Indian, Arabian and Italian recipes.
After colonization, the Dutch and Portuguese brought huge numbers of slaves to Brazil to work on the plantations. These slaves kept some of their traditions, so that even today various African influences are to be found in Brazilian culture — in visual arts, in music and in food. African influences in contemporary art are often in the works of artists from Afro-Brazilian families. During the colonization period talented slaves were recruited to decorate churches, though they had to conform to the Catholic canon. It was not until the second half of the 20th century that artists went searching for their cultural roots and, for example, work began to appear based on visual elements in traditional African religions such as Umbanda, for centuries
the means of spiritual escape for slaves.
