KUSUM SHABONG - EUPHORIA

Diversity brings about an amalgamation of ideas and enhances creativity in a society, This painting showcases cultural diversity with an ethnic dancer engrossed in her art form. The love for one’s art is common throughout people wherever they might come from. A true artist recognises this and hence there is no place for divisiveness there.

O YEMI TUBI - THE FISHERS OF MEN

My painting - "The Fishers of men" depicts the strengths in diversity people in people in Europe were fishing out the refugees from the Mediterranean Sea. "The Fishers of Men" was the phrase our Lord Jesus used to call His disciples to save human soul from the predator - the Satan.

ALEKSANDRA SANA RASULIC - PRECAMBRIAN ORGY

The diversity in materials I used in this work celebrates our diversity. Watercolours and ink, acrylics and graphite become an authentic Precambrian bath, a pool of warm water where diverse creatures reproduce, convulse and collide. The species collaborate or simply let themselves be carried away by their nature, devouring each other or transforming into new specimens.

CARMEN INCARNADINE - BOY CROWNED

The bird on top of the young man’s head is a Royal Amazonian Flycatcher, Onychorhynchus Coronatus. I chose it because of it’s origin known for it’s diversity, as well as for it’s crown. Through our own self-governing and sovereignty we can find connection. I have encircled him with seeds and flowers from Africa. To me these symbolise fertility, our origin and ability to create as well as the ever-present cycles of nature.We as human beings tend to categorise and compartmentalise.....

Massimo Vito Avantaggiato - ATLAS OF THE EARTH

My work is an abstract digital artwork. Internal motion, made up of vibrations, contacts, interactions that manage to create, through the chiaroscuro, a living, pulsating reality made of diverse particles that impossible inertial forces have projected into each other; a material movement, strong interior in which you can glimpse a close correlation with the soul of the artist, Chiaroscuri, inner vibrations, music in motion, possible and impossible atoms of different existences.

Kyo Kayamoto

There are countless issues about racism, sexism, discrimination against age, LGBTQ community, and more. But no one can live by themselves or solely with their own kind, and so if we stopped resenting each other for the difference, our human society would run smoothly and become much stronger. My work includes a handful of people with different age, race, religion and sexual orientation. One end of my piece can be connected to the other end it will complete the circle.

With courage, bravery and strength to look forward to brighter times.

ALEXIS BAMFORTH - BUST

Change in society. Breakdown of empires. Equality required in representation of art in our cities. Cochineal to form the blood nods at the 50% loss of insects in Europe (over last 15yrs).

DAVID - OLOWOKERE - GELE O DUN

Yorùbá women are consciously serious and careful when it comes to headgear exhibition, consciously complemented with traditional beads. This is the embellishment of the highest order when it comes to body adornment during outing occasions. From the title, "Gèlè ò dùn" which simply interpreted as "an headgear is not been appreciated unlike the tieing skills", body adornment of women is well respected in my culture(Yorùbá) which signifies strength and bond among among our cultured women.

Michaela Barker - 21 YEARS TOGETHER

This piece was done to celebrate my parents 21st anniversary. It celebrates the strengths in our diversity as they come from two very different backgrounds and upbringings yet still continue to have a lot of love for eachother and the family they have made together. The paper clippings used in the background are excerpts from their wedding book where their friends and families showed their support and love in the face of diversity.

The image is full of diversity. The background includes a watercolour rainbow and the bees are multi-coloured to represent all nations and celebrate difference.

AMANDA IGWEBU - JOJO

This piece has many distinctive colours with an unconventional style so it immediately sparks interest in the subject, JoJo. Additionally, JoJo’s mode of self-expression is non-traditional which makes her even more intriguing. Her uniqueness perpetuates the fact that we each have our own stories to tell, and our own talents to offer, based on our own backgrounds and experiences. In this, diversity is established and it invokes strength.

BECKY MCKINLEY - TUNNEL VISION

My piece demonstrates that despite our background, we all face difficult times, whereby we feel that we are confined and limited within life. Yet there is a way out and our circumstances are only temporary. A dark place that we pass through and come out stronger at the other side.

OTIS MARRIOT - The colourful and unfilte

Ami, one of my daughters is full of life and being 4 embraces all that life has to throw at her and this includes the diversity around her. She hasn't been exposed to the things in life which cause some not to notice and celebrate the difference in others. This image is not a popular one in our house as it's not necessarily the most flattering of photos, but that is what I like about it. In contradiction to my title I have filtered the colours to emphasise her personality.
