Generation Equality Forum in France
29 June 2021 - Ahead of the opening of the Generation Equality Forum in Paris, France, dignitaries gather to view a new mural produced for the forum by street artist Lula Goce.
An initiative spearheaded by UN Women, France and Mexico, as part of the Generation Equality Forum, led by Street Art for Mankind (SAM), in partnership with the City of Paris and with the support of the Manpower group and the Accor group.
This project is part of a series of three murals produced on the occasion of the Forum in three major world capitals - in Mexico City in Mexico, in Paris in France and in New York in the United States - by internationally renowned women artists. A first fresco was produced in Mexico City in March by artist Adry del Rocio.
Street Art for Mankind, which coordinates the entire project, is a non-profit organization bringing together street artists from around the world, using art to carry strong messages in favour of the rights of children and women. Lula Goce, who was chosen to create the fresco in Paris, is a Spanish artist who mixes photorealistic depictions of people - often children or adolescents - with elements of nature or fantastic landscapes.
The mural is located in Paris 18th, 3 rue Caulaincourt, (on Mercure Montmartre hotel’s façade).
Speakers include: Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director UN Women; Delphine O, Ambassador and Secretary General Forum Génération Egalité; Arnaud Ngatcha, Deputy Mayor of Paris in charge of international relations and the Francophonie; Alain Roumilhac, President, France ManpowerGroup; Maud Bailly, CEO Europe du Sud ACCOR; Marielle Seegmuller, Directrice des Opérations - COVIVIO; Audrey Decker & Thibault Decker, Founders Street Art for Mankind; Lula Goce, Mural Artist; musical performance by Lehna
