Voices from the Canvas Adobe Youth Voices
I
t is often the creative energy involved in producing a visual work of art that brings out the most innovative and passionate sides of youth as storytellers. In these pieces, a host of global issues affecting youth are highlighted through the digital art projects of Adobe Youth
Voices’ program participants, a program of TakingITGlobal. From global health to peace to gender equality, each piece makes a powerful statement on the world as seen through the eyes of global youth — in both its beauty and harsh realities. This year, TakingITGlobal launched a new Global Gallery collection entitled Perspectives: Youth Creating Change, which celebrates young people’s positive achievements. All of the images in this article and more can be viewed there (
ayv.tigweb.org). TakingITGlobal is an online community that connects global youth to encourage them to take actions on issues that matter to them the most.
