The aim of this exhibition is to encourage social cohesion and seeks to prove that our differences are fewer than our similarities. At the heart of this work is the belief that if we embrace a society with foundations based on respect and tolerance to maintain peace and harmony, then we are better equipped to face the challenges of the future.
