Apart from Singapore, the Global Photo Exhibition-PEACE FOR ALL will be held in over 10 major cities globally including New York, Tokyo, Hanoi, Paris, Rome, Shanghai, Seoul, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Stockholm – following its debut in London’s King’s Cross, Coal Drops Yard, on Friday, 13 September.

The collection features a curated collection of striking, joyful, profound photographs from Magnum photographers Cristina de Middel, Lindokuhle Sobekwa, and Olivia Arthur, who traveled to Vietnam, Ethiopia, and Romania to capture the everyday lives of real people who are the beneficiaries of funds raised through 'PEACE FOR ALL'.

The project is intended as a worldwide reflection on the value of peace, to showcase the real-world impact of UNIQLO’s ongoing 'PEACE FOR ALL' project. Moreover, the exhibition presents an important opportunity for UNIQLO customers everywhere to witness the positive impact of their participation in 'PEACE FOR ALL'.

These 30 pieces of work from Magnum Photos will be presented at public spaces in VivoCity, allowing everyone to appreciate compelling images captured by expert photographers.

"Mapletree is a strong supporter of the arts through our corporate social responsibility programme. We are delighted to contribute to this initiative that drives a positive impact through art. We hope VivoCity mall-goers will enjoy this exhibition and be inspired to give back to their communities especially in their everyday lives," said Edmund Cheng, Mapletree chairman.

“PEACE FOR ALL has grown with the support of our customers, collaborators and partner organisations to spread the message of peace across the globe. Our collaborators are major figures who share this vision and we are delighted to present this exceptional Magnum photos exhibition with Mapletree to residents in Singapore," said Hwee Lee, senior director, sustainability at UNIQLO Singapore. "We have also made it easy for everyone wishing to make a stand for peace through our PEACE FOR ALL T-shirts that are available at UNIQLO stores and online.”
