The IIW’s 2023 Digital Collection of Photographic Welded Art, which has the UNs 17 Sustainable Development Goals as the underpinning theme, has now been published and is available for viewing. The Collection involved the cooperation and collaboration of 36 artists and 36 exhibits from 16 countries.

“I would like to thank the artists for their valuable contributions to the Collection, which we hope will have very positive effects around the world by helping to highlight some of the big issues which are at the forefront of our consciousness,” said the Exhibitions coordinator, Chris Smallbone.
“This subject is very close to my heart. In line with fundamental humanitarian principles, any plan for improving the SDGs must have, as a main objective, the improvement of the quality of life and biodiversity in the country. A common purpose links people throughout the world: employment, security and health for their family, a decent roof over their heads, education for their children, food in their stomachs and a sustainable positive environment around them,” he added.
