Dear Art Friends,
I am deeply honoured to announce my participation in
"The World We Want (WWW) – Art for Planet and Peace" –
an extraordinary two-day live event
at the iconic Hall of India and Pakistan,
The Royal Over-Seas League,
St James's Street, London,
on 10th and 11th April 2026.
Organised by the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS), The War on Climate (TWOC), and Artistic PNK, this event brings together over 100 artists from around the globe to use arts and culture as catalysts for climate action, diplomacy, and peace.
For this exhibition, I am presenting for the very first time a photography work from my documentary photography series "Even Trash Has a Soul" – a body of work that invites us to look beyond surface and judgment, to find the sacred within the discarded, and to recognise that everything in this world carries an energetic imprint, a story, a life force.
In a world that is accelerating toward environmental crisis, this series asks a quietly radical question: What if we treat trash with dignity, too?
This debut showing feels like exactly the right moment, in exactly the right space.
About the Event
The World We Want is more than an exhibition. It is a living, breathing manifesto – a convergence of art, science, music, poetry, and vision.
Event Highlights include:
🌍 International Exhibition – Works from 100+ artists, including children's art from Lebanon, Uruguay, and China, and a Kids' Guernica Peace Banner from Hiroshima.
🎖️ Planetary Arts Ambassadors Award Ceremony – Honouring Chris Packham (naturalist, photographer & TV presenter) and Martyn Ware (musician, composer, founding member of The Human League and Heaven 17).
🎙️ Youth Leadership Voices – "Art as a Catalyst for Cultural Diplomacy & Transformation" with young leaders from One Young World, young diplomats, and WAAS X-ART Committee Members.
📖 Eco-Poetry Readings – Live performances by Helen Moore, Mario Petrucci, and Mona Arshi across both days.
🎵 Peace & Music – DISARM, a live theatrical concert for peace by THE BRIDGE, and a live video link from Japan: the launch of the Violin from Hiroshima Peace Violin Tour.
💡 Transformative Presentations – including The War on Climate: Engaging Young Artists for Peace, In Place of War: Art as a Tool for Peace, and Party for the Planet: A New Year's Pledge.
🖼️ Interactive Experiences – Sign the Manifesto for Planetary Arts, meet the artists, live and silent art auctions (featuring a Banksy print!), pop-up performers, and future-planning networking sessions.
