The World We Want Art

“The UN is marking its 75th anniversary at a time of great disruption for the world. Covid-19 is a stark reminder of the need for cooperation across borders, sectors and generations. Global dialogue – and action – is now more urgent than ever, to not let this pandemic lead to greater mistrust. 2020 must be a year of dialogue, when we come together to discuss our priorities as a human family, and how we can build a better future for all. Art is often an enabling tool to foster a conversation about the kind of future we want and how we can empower youth in working towards it. To this end, the Perception Change Project in the Office of the Director-General of UN Geneva organized this world wide art contest opened to all Geneva-based UN Missions. Each work of art on this website was submitted by Geneva-based permanent missions. All five continents are represented.”

While the contest ended in the spring of 2020, our class used this project as inspiration for our study of patterns in artwork.
