Speaker 1, a presenter, said the exhibition marks the United Nations' 80th anniversary and "80 years of actually having an incredible impact on the world." The presenter said many photos show unexpected ways the UN has influenced areas such as telecommunications regulations and postal systems.
Speaker 2, a presenter, framed the images as questions about collective action: "What else is possible if the world puts more effort into forging shared solutions? Raging conflicts, deepening inequality, runaway technologies, and the burning planet, none of these will fix themselves, and no 1 knows and can fix them alone. We must work together, recognizing our shared humanity and building our shared future." Speaker 1 added that the exhibition includes work from many UN agencies but emphasized "it's not about the UN. It's about the people who have benefited from the UN."
According to the presenters, 24 of the 200 photographs in the traveling exhibit are on display at United Nations headquarters; UN information centers around the world will print images for local exhibits to mark the anniversary. Speaker 1 described the exhibit as global in scope because those centers will reproduce images "wherever they are." The presenters did not specify dates, host institutions, admission details or funding sources for the local displays.
