Peace for All x Magnum Photos exhibition
A single T-shirt has the power to spread peace. This is the idea behind the PEACE FOR ALL charity T-shirt initiative launched by UNIQLO, which in 2024 celebrates two years and over 1.5 billion yen (approx. US$10 million) raised to date. All profits from sales of PEACE FOR ALL T-shirts are donated to three international humanitarian organisations, UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency), Save the Children, and Plan International.
Now, PEACE FOR ALL is partnering with internationally renowned photographic cooperative Magnum Photos to launch a global photography exhibition.
The exhibition features a curated collection of striking, joyful, profound photographs from Magnum photographers Cristina de Middel, Lindokuhle Sobekwa and Olivia Arthur, who travelled to Vietnam, Ethiopia and Romania to capture moments of PEACE FOR ALL funded activities from their own perspectives.
The photographs shine a light on everyday lives of real people who are the beneficiaries of funds raised through the PEACE FOR ALL initiative. Artwork made by the children and their families during workshops hosted by the photographers are displayed alongside the exhibition photography. The exhibition powerfully illustrates how each partner makes good use of funds raised through the initiative.
