International Exhibition Awarded Gold Prize – Chinese Artist Kang Mingyi
In the face of global climate and sustainable development challenges, art transcends language barriers and becomes a bridge connecting hearts and shared visions. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) “Earth’s Beauty Project” uses art as a bond, gathering the creativity of global creators, encouraging people to express their sincere love for the Earth through the language of art, and reflecting on and fulfilling their responsibilities for the future.
This exhibition closely focuses on the core content of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, emphasizing four key goals: Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), Goal 13 (Climate Action), Goal 14 (Life Below Water), and Goal 15 (Life on Land). I aim to promote active participation in ecological governance and widely disseminate the concept of sustainable development through the medium of art.
This event is hosted by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Leadership Development Agency, with all selected works rigorously reviewed by an international expert team, fully showcasing the deep concern of global creators for the future of the Earth. Outstanding works will be exhibited in four major venues: the United Nations Headquarters in Vienna, the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the United Nations Office in Geneva, and the United Nations Office in Nairobi, creating a cross-continental dialogue platform for creative voices to resonate globally.
May more people raise their voices through creation and join us in depicting a beautiful future where humanity and nature coexist harmoniously.
