On September 18th, UNIQLO and Magnum Photos opened the first-ever global photo exhibition in Kungsträdgården, Stockholm. The exhibition portrays the everyday lives of people affected by humanitarian crises and supported by organizations such as UNHCR, Save the Children, and Plan International. The global exhibition will take place in public spaces in more than 10 cities around the world and is free of charge. The exhibition runs until October 17.

Peace for All is a charity project initiated by UNIQLO aimed at contributing to positive change in the world through clothing. As part of the initiative, T-shirts are designed by renowned designers, artists, and photographers, with 100% of the profits from sales going directly to three international humanitarian organizations: UNHCR, Save the Children, and Plan International, which help people affected by poverty, discrimination, violence, and conflict. Two years after the project began, more than four million T-shirts have been sold globally, raising 8.8 million USD.

More about the photographers behind the exhibition:

President of Magnum Photos since 2022, Cristina de Middel visited the Plan International, our donation recipient, is operation in Vietnam, where the organization is working toward realizing a world in which young women are protected from damaging customs like child marriage and can freely choose the lives they want to live. Through her work, Cristina de Middel hopes to inspire the next generation to see that if they want change badly enough, they will see the world change before them. Meeting the children of Vietnam, she says that she could feel how excited these young people are for the future, which she found thrilling.

Imagination is a child’s greatest asset. Using her lens, she captured the kid zones set up in a Save the Children Counselling Hub so that children can be children and express themselves through play.

Lindokuhle Sobekwa in Ethiopia
Hailing from South Africa, Sobekwa started his career photographing scenes of poverty and unemployment. For this assignment, he went to Ethiopia, where he captured the aid efforts of UNHCR which is our donation recipient. Paying witness to the everyday lives of Somali refugees in Awbare’s refugee encampment, his photos center on the themes of hope, dreams, and resilience.
