Environmental challenges on display at UN art exhibition in Iran
The exhibition, titled ‘Beyond the Canvas: Eyes on the Work of Nature,’ features 36 artworks by 18 artists and is organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN Information Centre (UNIC) in Iran, in partnership with Ech Art Gallery and Artunity, IRNA wrote.
The exhibition aims to encourage viewers to think about their relationship with nature and their role in protecting it. The artworks are not only visually striking but also a call to action, urging visitors to become more aware of environmental challenges and work collectively towards sustainable solutions.
At the exhibition’s opening ceremony, UN Resident Coordinator Stefan Priesner said the goal is to raise public awareness about the severe environmental pressure on the planet.
Priesner noted that while the scope of environmental challenges is alarming, there are solutions to address the triple crises.
He emphasized the need for stronger commitment and more resources to guide humanity towards a sustainable future.
The exhibition runs from August 9 to 17 at the Ech Art Gallery in Tehran and is open daily.
