WHO Futures Art Exhibition

Welcome to the WHO Futures Art Exhibition: Envisioning the Future of Health in 2050. 
Art is a powerful tool in understanding ourselves and the world, and health has been at the center of our hopes and fears. This is why the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for the Western Pacific is hosting the Region’s first art exhibition of the kind.  

Here, artists from around the world shared their vision of the future health in the Western Pacific Region. They addressed some important questions: How might our health and well-being be impacted by society by 2050? How will economic development affect health in 30 years? Will there be inequalities, and how will they threaten people’s health? How might our health and well-being be impacted by technology by 2050? What will the climate look like in 30 years? What will be the status of air, water and soil? What will be the state of biodiversity in the Region? 

While you enjoy the artwork, please share your ideas, your reflections, or your own vision of the futures of health in 2050 of the Western Pacific Region in the comment section under each piece.
