IIW Digital Collections Welded Art Photographic Exhibition

IIW 2024 Digital Collection Welded Art Photographic Exhibition-Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations (UN), has 193 countries as members and with the challenges of improving the quality of life in countries, in 2015, world leaders agreed for the UN to implement 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aimed at low and middle-income countries. The full Sustainable Development Report 2022 giving the Global SDG Index and country reports is available at www.sdgindex.org

The International Institute of Welding (IIW) has linked its National Welding Capability (NWC) Project and the SDGs so that strategies can be introduced by a country including implementing a Flagship Programme with a single global focus “To Assist the Country to Establish, Sustain and Improve Its National Welding Capability and Progress its UN Sustainable Development Goals”. Such a Programme may have many initiatives and projects associated with it but all are related to a single global focus.

The IIW 2024 Digital Collection involved the cooperation and collaboration of artists and  exhibits from several countries. Please enjoy and pass the IIW 2024 Digital Collection to your members, friends and colleagues.

 

IIW 2025 Digital Collection Welded Art Photographic Exhibition: Progressing Biodiversity

The IIW 2025 Digital Collection will be launched at the IIW Annual Assembly to be held from 22nd to 27th June 2025 in Genoa, Italy and promoted extensively around the world from 22nd June 2025. The photographs of 40 exhibits will be showcased on display at the Congress Centre venue in Genoa during the IIW Annual Assembly.

Since it is a photographic exhibition, there is no need for artists to be present, and no onerous shipping/set-up of bulky exhibits is required. There will be no charges/fees/stipends/income/proceeds/sales involved in this photographic exhibition. The organisation and administration is done on a voluntary basis, with the practical costs for the exhibition in Genoa being carried by IIW.

If you are aware of other people in your networks at companies, universities, research groups, colleges etc who may be producing welded artwork, I would be grateful if you would send me their contact details and I will contact them directly.
