Through the compelling collages of the renowned Turkish artist Uğur Gallenkuş, the event will trace the journey from acknowledgment of systemic inequalities to hopeful action, spotlighting youth as changemakers in food systems, including winners of the UN SDG Action Awards; harnessing the power of art and creativity to shift narratives and inspire bold and transformative action; and fostering an intergenerational multi-stakeholder dialogue and new forms of collaboration rooted in trust and solidarity between national governments, UN entities, changemakers, artists, civil society and grassroots organizations.
