In September 2021, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) organized the digital summit "Healing a Broken World" in response to pandemic-accentuated crises. Renowned leaders across various fields discussed post-pandemic recovery. The exhibition featured five commissioned artworks, symbolizing a five-step metaphor for healing societal wounds. These works confront urgent matters such as reimagining cities, gender-based violence, and pandemic-disrupted education. Through symbolic expressions, they provide innovative solutions while underscoring challenges.
