Rising artist Tiffany-Annabelle has organised a child art project called Future Voices: A Child’s Vision in a Changing World. It is an art initiative spotlighting the voices and expressions of children. This creative endeavour, featuring the artwork of 20 talented children from Karen-Happuch International Christian School (KHICS), took place at the UNICEF headquarters in Abuja in honour of the World Children’s Day.
The work which was guided by this year’s World Children’s Day theme: “Listen to the Future,” Future Voices captures the imagination and insights of children facing a rapidly evolving world filled with profound challenges.
A special art session led by Tiffany-Annabelle, and accompanied by the school’s proprietor Mrs Fome Kings-Jack, the children (between the ages of 8 and12yrs) delved into critical issues affecting children’s rights, including climate change, technological transformation, and global demographic shifts. The result is a thoughtful collection that showcases each child’s unique perspective, hopes, and concerns for a future that is sustainable, inclusive, and just.
Tiffany-Annabelle said at the event, “It was such fun organising an art concept that had nothing to do with my art. It is so important for artists to try and make time for projects outside of themselves. Working with children is always unpredictable so I must confess I was relieved by how well-behaved and funny the students of Karen-Happuch International Christian School were.”
The art has been donated to the UNICEF team and was displayed on World Children’s Day 20th November 2024.
