What we do
Our association was created with the support of D10 Art Space and the United Nations Office at Geneva with the goal to promote the principles of Sustainable Art for the world, women, multiculturalism, cultural heritage, youth and new technologies. With our photo project “17 Faces of Action”, initiated by the first woman Director-General of UNOG and supported by different countries on the governmental level, we have already travelled over 1000 kilometers across Europe, Asia, and Africa, collaborating with museums, libraries and art centers in order to represent 17 SDGs in 17 countries and 289 women. So far, the project has been carried out in 7 countries and at COP28 UAE.
WHY
Our association was created with the support of D10 Art Space and the United Nations Office at Geneva with the goal to promote the principles of Sustainable Art for the world, women, multiculturalism, cultural heritage, youth and new technologies.
HOW
The association pursues its mission by organizing state-based institutional exhibitions and participating in projects that are in line with our vision and values, as well as by professing absolute neutrality in political, religious, and racial matters and by uniting a community around human relations.

WHO SUPPORTS US
ASWE works in close collaboration with different supporters from various horizons. We are proud to have as our main supporter , Mrs. Tatiana Valovaya, the first woman Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva.
As the first female Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva and having worked in male-dominated spheres during many years of my career, my ultimate goal is that women and men are granted equal opportunities in my organization and beyond. It is self-evident that we will not achieve any of our goals if half of humanity is left aside.
