IDENTITY IN THE MODERN WORLD

A collaborative art exhibition, artivists across the globe highlight what identity truly means today. In the wake of the BLM and unjust killings, conversations surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion have been more prevalent than ever. Art is a catalyst for such conversations - and more, actions beyond words.

IDENTITY IN THE MODERN WORLD | "I CAN'T BREATHE"

Eric Chen, 13 | Vaughan, Canada | Music Track


Everyone in the world has no differences, but we discriminate against each other. The world needs some rest and peace. Everybody can help with this. Racism has to be stopped, to make the world better.

identity in the modern world | "Elgar Cello Concerto No. 1"

Performed on Cello by Mia Paul, 17 | Encino, CA, USA


With all of the surrounding issues today, I feel as though everyone needs to put their emotions into a creative outlet. Mine is music, and today I would like to share to the world how I feel with every issue through Elgar’s Cello Concerto No. 1.


My submission is to provide a sense of unity. I want to share my emotions with the world with every issue pouring throughout the world. I hope to enhance our unity to bring together peace and change.

"2021: Sports for a purpose"

In light of the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games as well as Girl Up and WWE's "Sports for a Purpose" initiative, 2021 spotlights the gender inequity within the realm of sports. Through the power of art, challenges faced by women in this field are recognized, truly giving sports a purpose to advocate for, beyond next year.

Skateboarding Girl

Kayleigh Huang, 13 | Arcadia, CA, United States | Color pencil on paper


Skateboarding Girl is a drawing I created with color pencils to show the feeling of skateboarding. I used vibrant colors to express the excitement gained from it. Life is full of color and some people get  their “color” from sports.
