Social art: fostering sustainable change for global water challenges | Video

New York, Mar 24 (EFE).- Approximately 8,000 lacquered clay balls in various shades of blue created by 100 children from the Americas were fashioned into water droplets to form a wave. The art piece was unveiled Thursday in New York during parallel events at the United Nations Water Conference.

"Be the drop that shapes the wave" was the event's slogan, organized by the FEMSA Foundation, which showcased the collective artwork led by artist Inma Barrero and announced an expansion of the Lazos de Agua program to provide water and sanitation to over one million people by 2030.

The clay work demonstrates how social art can inspire individuals to see themselves as agents of change, magnify their impact, and commit to a goal – in this instance, universal access to clean drinking water worldwide.
