Is a title for my SIP which is an exhibition of the archived artworks by children and young people NSI collected over the years; and we’re planning to hold in May (originally was it bound to be set in February but due to the issues with the venue it was postponed.)
Unity without Uniformity in relation to social justice principles and so forth, touches on the impact of cultural background on the perception on social justice and conflicts of children and young people. Let’s say for example, one who came a country that has an Independence Day would view colonisation rather differently from one that doesn’t; it’s just natural for one to be more alerted of the incidents and issues arose within one’s circle. The discussion surrounding the theme will be about embracing those diverse perspectives, it’s all heading to the same desire: Prosperity and peace, quoting from our current exhibition statement: “These works show the importance in accepting and understanding cultures, as well as highlighting the strengths in our differences. Unity without uniformity allows everyone to live amongst each other peacefully and prosperously.”
I think it was an intriguing subject to touch on considering the UK (especially) London is diverse society, and including myself, there’re many people from so many cultures has gathered in this place.
The aimed outcome will be 2 weeks long exhibition but practical workshops will be delivered during the time inviting local schools alike, not only that, archived booklet/brochure will be produced as a record of the project.
Initially, the exhibition was planned to be in early February, however, due to issues around the venue, it was postponed to May.
