"Imagine a world where equality prevails for all, a world where its strength lies in the beauty of its union and humanism" is how the digital work "The Bridge of Equality" by young Tunisian artist Syrine Jemal is presented. The work is on show at the United Nations Office in Geneva as part of the international exhibition "The Art of Equality: A Journey towards Justice", which runs until 20 October 2023.
The selection of this work follows the call launched last May by the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) for artists from around the world to take part in this international exhibition, which aims to create a unique and immersive experience to raise awareness and inspire action on equality and social justice through the prism of visual art and the 60 years of research by the Institute for Social Change.
This exhibition aims to present works that stimulate the mind and encourage the public to engage in deep reflection on these important issues in order to inspire positive change for more egalitarian, just and sustainable societies.
