As world leaders meet during the annual United Nations General Assembly to discuss global challenges, including the need to restore balance with nature and tackle the climate emergency, the organization’s iconic building will light up with images of marine species in an effort to symbolize the relationship between humans and the world’s rich biodiversity.
The Interspecies Assembly, a public art project commissioned by ART 2030, a non-profit organization which unites art with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - the world’s blueprint for a healthier, safer and more equal future - will project the filmwork, Vertical Migration, onto the northern façade of the 39-storey UN Secretariat building.
The filmwork, to be projected 8pm to 11pm EST from 21 to 24 September, was created by SUPERFLEX, a Danish art collective. It shows the movement of Siphonophores in the ocean’s deep sea. The marine creatures, which function not as a single, physically connected body but a colony of or- ganisms keeping an underwater society alive, illustrate the necessity and impact of working to- gether, and in harmony with nature.
As such, the symbolic presence of non-human species coming together at the United Nations during such a critical time will highlight the need for world leaders to also work in harmony for the well-being of all species on the planet, protecting the world’s diminishing biodiversity and redefining our relationship with nature.
Vertical Migration is commissioned by ART 2030 and TBA21-Academy, and supported by Avatar Alliance Foundation, Dalio Philanthropies, OceanX, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, New Carlsberg Foundation, The Obel Family Foundation, Beckett Fonden, and Danish Arts Foundation. Interspecies Assembly by SUPERFLEX for ART 2030 is a project that features the works Interspecies Assembly and Vertical Migration. The project is generously supported by New Carlsberg Foundation, The Obel Family Foundation, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, The Ministry of Culture Denmark, Beckett Fonden and the Danish Arts Foundation. The Interspecies Assembly project was developed in close collaboration with Kollision and KWY.studio.

"UN plasters selfie all over outside building"... The people are astonished at the total lack of self awareness in such organisms.

Palestine and Kashmir want Freedom, please help them and save them from brutality of Israel and Endia.,

Nice Theme
But nothing will change until UN adminstrative structure changes itself.
Strong Law abiding UN is must for peace, prosperity and groth towards type 3 civilization.
Currently UN is nothing but a spectator, It has no rights and power to deal with current scenario and bring peace between Nations by law or by force.
