To mark International Development Week in February, the art exhibition “Through my eyes: art for development” will be hosted by the University of Ottawa’s WUSC Local Committee, a dynamic campus-based group who support our organization’s awareness-raising efforts. This art exhibition brings together the work of 24 artists from Ghana, Malawi, and Canada. The diversity of their family backgrounds, professional experiences, the contexts in which they lived, as well as the challenges they faced daily, has brought extra depth to their work.
As part of its global development efforts, WUSC created this art exhibition focused on the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs. The exhibition isn’t just about delivering a message, it is about raising awareness in a positive way, shedding light on the global challenges people face and the critical role that individual actions can play.
The art exhibition is free to enter and open to interested visitors from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on February 3 and 4 at Jock Turcot University Centre at the University of Ottawa. The Opening Night Launch Event will be on February 3rd (5-8 p.m. EST) with performances from the student community. The registration link to attend the launch event will be shared soon on the local committee’s social media accounts. However, no registration is required to enter the Art Exhibition display.
