September 05, 2024 |

The UNITAR CIFAL Hubei, together with the organizing committee, hosted the "Breathing with the Universe" International Art Expression Exhibition at the Pulinyuan Art Space recently. 

This event encourages young artists to creatively express the concept of sustainable development, discover and promote outstanding talent and foster international artistic exchanges.

"Everyone can be a benevolent sharer, sharing your beauty with everyone in the world," said Hong Jie, deputy director of the UNITAR CIFAL Hubei. The event aims to provide a platform for children of different ages, artistic styles and creative ideas to showcase their educational achievements in art, highlighting their latest works on environmental protection, public welfare and their artistic contributions to the planet.

At the event, young "artists" eagerly used tablets to capture their spontaneous inspirations. "I painted a dream bubble. Blowing bubbles in my childhood brought me a lot of joy. On one hand, having my work exhibited is a new experience for me, filled with a bit of a dreamy feel; on the other hand, this exhibition allows my understanding of environmental protection to be seen by more people, which makes me very happy," said a participating young artist.

This exhibition, being a public welfare event, will continue until September 9 and will be open to the public for free. Italian curator, artist and architect Gabriele Fezia said that this event is a prelude, and he will lead environmental artists on an international tour to implement the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
