“Portraits of Resilience” Exhibition at the United Nations, Geneva
“Portraits of Resilience” by Jonathan Banks in collaboration with TASSC International will be exhibited at the United Nation’s Palais des Nations in Geneva between Monday 24th of March and Friday 4th of April.
The United Nations Geneva Cultural Activities Programme provides Permanent Missions to the United Nations Office at Geneva and International Organisations a cultural diplomacy space to share art and culture at the Palais des Nations. Empowering an exchange and dialogue among cultures and peoples of different traditions and backgrounds, the Programme aims to foster tolerance and respect. Events are open to the diplomatic community, staff of the UN system, anyone accredited to enter the Palais des Nations, and the general public upon registration.
“Portraits of Resilience” features photographs of survivors of torture from around the world who fled their home countries seeking safety, recovery, and political asylum. The work has been approved by the United Nations cultural committee to be shown at the Nations des Palais and supported by the British and French Permanent Missions.
