Humanity Heals is an exhibition that showcases humanitarian issues addressed during the summit through art. The show will serve as a visual journey for the audience. It will be highly curated and will use various installations to create an immersive and engaging experience for visitors. The installations will be engaging, thought-provoking, and inspiring. The exhibition aims to raise awareness about the importance of humanitarian aid and to inspire visitors to take action to support MSF’s work. The exhibit will showcase several installations revolving around the themes of People Forced from Home, Equitable Access to Healthcare, Climate Change and Mis/Disinformation in Emergencies. There will be three photography exhibits. Two of these will be co-curated by Alliance Francaise New Delhi, which are (1) ‘Memories of My Homeland’: A collection of painting and photographs from refugees and (2) a Photo collective on climate change-induced migration by Bangladeshi photographer Abir Abdullah. The third exhibit – ‘Side by Side’ presents a selection of collages by photographer Uğur Gallenkuş in collaboration with MSF. These are specially created for MSF, using original pictures from old and recent MSF archives. The side-by-side pictures portray starkly different realities. The association between MSF and Uğur Gallenkuş is meaningful in that it both conveys humanitarian messages and highlights the need to think and look beyond our usual environment in different ways.
To raise awareness around the misinformation and disinformation through the use of technology will be exhibited in the form of an interactive display by the Internet Freedom Foundation.
