Dushanbe just became the global stage for Gen-Z creativity! The 2024 'Future World' International Youth Art Exhibition launched Thursday at Tajikistan's National Museum, featuring 200+ mind-blowing artworks from young artists across 26 countries.
Co-organized by Tajikistan and China with UNESCO backing, this #CultureCollab event aims to supercharge dialogue among Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) youth through mixed-media art exploring everything from AI ethics to climate justice.
Chinese Ambassador Ji Shumin told the crowd of 800+: "Art is our universal language for shaping tomorrow." The opening night vibe? Absolute fire – with traditional dance showdowns and folk music fusions between Chinese and Tajik performers.
Pro tip: This traveling exhibit already rocked UNESCO HQ twice since its 2023 launch. Next stop? Your Instagram feed – half the artwork's digital-ready!
