Art is a powerful tool that crosses boundaries and languages.

We invited students to share a part of their journey, whether it was a cherished childhood memory, a discovery about themselves, or a reflection of a significant experience.

This portfolio features a thought-provoking selection of artwork created by young artists from 15 countries. It is a tribute to the power of art to build bridges across cultures, foster empathy, and celebrate our shared humanity.

Stories are an effective way to share meaningful events that are entertaining, easily remembered or even empowering.

We challenged Global Voices ArtLink Students to conceive and create pieces of art to share with their international peers, that illustrated the story they wanted to tell – ones that they, their community, or their society experienced.

Wherever and whenever it took place, whether fun or serious, we asked each artist to consider what their story choice said about them and what they value.

This portfolio showcases a thought-provoking sampling of the art pieces created by young artists from 13 countries this year. We hope you will enjoy their creativity and insights – and be inspired to think about the story you would like to tell.

Our daily lives are often a series of routines. However, occasionally something out of the ordinary happens that stands out to us as especially memorable.

This year, we asked ArtLink students to create pieces of art illustrating something “Extraordinary” that they experienced in their lives and culture, whether large or small, to exchange with their international peers.

This portfolio showcases a thought-provoking sampling of thousands of art pieces by young artists in 14 countries.
