In the framework of The children of the Mekong art exhibition titled Colours of Hope which will group several artists, Latitude 22N will present three drawings from Julie Progin’s Obsessions series: Pipe Dream, No. 568 & 1309 and Watermelon. The proceeds of the sale of artwork will be donated to The children of the Mekong for their projects.
Colours of Hope is an art exhibition organised by Children of the Mekong Hong Kong that thrives on bridging two points of view: the unique vision of artists and the distinctive perspectives of unprivileged children supported by the charity.
Three years of pandemics, unexpected geopolitical instability, growing social inequalities, threats from climate change… These are all factors that force us to rethink the way we live and understand the world.
Artists can guide us in this reflection. Many go through the same process, constantly reinventing their creative expressions and techniques to share their emotions and convictions.
Colours of Hope is an invitation to embrace optimism and hope through the work of talented and committed artists.
In a way, artists help us, through colours, to change our vision of the world around us, to heighten our sensitivity. Bringing colours into our lives, connecting to multiply encounters, listening and positively influencing more and more, for a better world, such is the wish of our partnership with magnificent artists to be discovered during the art exhibition Colours of Hope.
Colours of Hope is about the importance of surrounding ourselves with colours that inspire, uplift and increase the chances of happiness and well-being. It explores the idea of finding the colours of hope that allows individuals to feel encouraged, energized, positive and hopeful.
Colours of Hope resonates with Children of the Mekong’s mission to support disadvantaged children. In short, bringing hope to thousands of children… All the proceeds from the sale of the artworks will be donated to Children of the Mekong to fund its activities on behalf of disadvantaged children in Southeast Asia.
