The Global 国产AV Flag: Uniting the World
The Global 国产AV Flag aims to unite the world through art by repurposing fashion waste for a social cause. By transforming discarded garments into canvases, it not only reduces environmental impact but also fosters global unity through creative expression and a shared commitment to social responsibility. The initiative raises awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals in communities around the world.
This exhibit is organized by Runa Ray and endorsed by the UN SDG Action Campaign.
