Shift power and imagination in development:
new horizons paths under creation
"Changing power requires us to see the world differently" explains Maria Faciolince in her article published on OXFAM website, an international confederation of 20 charitable organisations sharing a common goal: alleviate poverty.
After a two-year-old project called "Power Shifts Project", it was time to "round up the lessons, insights and guiding lights we have set out to co-create a virtual gallery for shifting power. Through collaborating with two wonderful illustrators, we’ve attempted to find more creative ways to communicate ideas and transformative practices".
The exhibit has been co-created with Vidushi Yadav, a famous Indian illustrator. Entitled ‘Creating new horizons: paths to shift power and imagination in development’, it displays "a visual representation of some of the biggest debates surrounding ‘shifting the power’ in the development and aid sector".
From NGOs and charitables to companies and institutions, all organisations should identify sustainable answers to modern human needs and world understanding, through the eye of Arts (or artists) that could be (parts of) the solution.
