You are warmly invited to join us on Friday 23 April for the opening of our first virtual art exhibition, showcasing over 70 pieces from all 23 members of the UNESCO RILA Affiliate Artist Network. Since 2017, this network has brought together global artists, who work with and reflect on the role Arts and Languages play in bringing people together and strengthening social cohesion.
In paintings, photographs, videos, audio, poetry, music and 3D installations, the artists offer their perspectives on migration, integration and identity in a globalised world. At the heart of Colouring outside the lines are three collaborative works, commissioned by UNESCO RILA. These artworks are specifically designed to stimulate critical reflection on our understanding of refugee integration through languages and the arts. We invite you to step into their space and challenge you to imagine what an interconnected and more hospitable world could look like.
During the opening event, we will hear from Rachel Sandison, VP External Relations, UofGlasgow and Alison Phipps, UNESCO Chair. At the end of the short celebration, you will receive the link to the exhibition for an exclusive preview. The exhibition will open to the wider public from Saturday 24 April.
Exhibition curated by Iman Tajik and Bella Hoogeveen.
