Draft [EM 19iv]

UN Day 2006:  Keep the Promise

 

To mark UN Day in India, UNIC New Delhi commissioned eight contemporary artists to present their vision of the MDGs.  Responding to UNIC’s call, eight eminent Indian artists created sensitive images to highlight the MDGs.

 

Based on their works, UNIC developed a series of posters as well as a folder of prints of the images, launched at a press conference. The works were displayed at UN House on UN Day during our annual reception, and moved to a popular gallery for the following week.

 

The artists are contributing 50 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of their works to fund UN development projects in India. The initiative offered another opportunity to catalyse action towards meeting the Goals in India.

 

The participating artists and their themes:

 

Veer Munshi

Naresh Kapuria

Anupum Sud

Madhvi Parekh

Jayasri Burman

Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
