Artists from all over the world responded to this invitation to address the most pressing themes of our times - ecology, inequality, common future, solidarity, anti-racism and social justice had a profound presence in this vast ensemble of creative endeavour. In the words of the celebrated French-Lebanese artist and poet Etel Adnan, who reminds us that 'the world needs togetherness, not separation, Love, not suspicion. A common future, not isolation'.
