🌍 One World, Two Realities:
What Will it Take to Bridge the Divide?
Confront inequalities through art, get inspired by stories of hope, and take part in shaping what comes next.
We live in a world of rising inequalities and sharp contrasts — where challenges and opportunities exist side by side. But inequality is not inevitable. It’s shaped by decisions, systems, and the stories we choose to tell.
Experience a powerful visual journey into the development challenges and solutions through the Campaign’s Parallel Realities Pavilion launched at the 24th Triennale Milano International Exhibition Inequalities. The Pavilion features Uğur Gallenkuş’s split-image collages that contrast lives shaped by injustice and opportunity, alongside stories of the UN SDG Action Awards Heroes of Tomorrow transforming hope into action. Take the virtual tour or visit the Pavilion in-person in Milan until 9 November 2025.
