The Exhibition
The UN Water Conference 2023 in New York forms part of the bridge, constructed on dialogue and the exchange of knowledge. The scientist, the politician, the cultural actor and the social representative are coming together to recognise the importance of water in our lives in the past, in the present and in the future.
As such, UNESCO with the collaboration of the JRC has gathered a group of interested organisations, Member States, youth associations and academia to create an “Arts Coalition for Water” (ACW). The ACW wishes to install an art exhibition which illustrates past, present and future perspectives of water inside UN HQ at the UN 2023 Water Conference. Several members of the ACW provide the artistic elements for the exhibition, including photos, paintings, drawings and videos.
The exhibition is called ‘Walk of Water: An Intergenerational Journey.’ Hosting the Walk of Water will offer a direct contrast between objective talks on policy and the artistic emotional expressions of water-related issues and solutions across generations and cultures. As such, it will provide an opportunity for introspection, reflection, and motivation for the attendees, as they view the art and remember underlying reason why the conference is taking place: so that everyone, now and in the future, can realise their human right to clean, safe
and affordable water and a healthy, thriving environment.
