Youth Vision: A group show by youth across the Maldives about their present and future
09 November 2019
By bringing together participants from four regions across the Maldives, the Youth Vision art workshops created a unique space for the youth to discover their own stories, inspirations, concerns within their individual lived experiences, and convert these into tangible art pieces. A vision of the future cannot be grasped without a dialogue of our present and lived experiences. The here and now of our youth. Each personal narrative tells a tiny piece of the self, collectively they show the story of our nation. While many of these pieces explore personal challenges and institutional gaps, each artist took the time and effort to express and share their story; a brave and courageous act. A sign of confidence and a vision to move beyond.
