‘Shared seas’ by Portuguese artist Mariana Santos.

‘Shared seas’ by Portuguese artist Mariana Santos. On Fredensgade.
#1 No poverty. Afskaf fattigdom.
The first of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, championed on 17 gable walls in Aarhus. The city is one of 25 in the EU working to be a ‘carbon-neutral smart city’ by 2030.
I wonder if someone in the council made a point by picking this site. On the ground floor, that's a driving school and a travel agent that specialises in long-haul holidays.

‘Untitled’ by Spanish-Haitian artist Axel Void. On Nørre Allé.
#2 End hunger. Stop sult.
The second of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, championed on 17 gable walls in Aarhus. The city aims to be carbon-neutral by 2030.
‘A sustainable future can only happen if we're all pulling in the same direction. Great challenges need creative and imaginative solutions. Art has the ability to inspire creative thinking and engagement on all levels.’

17 murals promoting the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals have been painted on 17 city walls. I posted photos of two of them. If you think this thread is finished, then you have another toot coming.
'Vitality' by Russian artist Marat Morik. On Vestergade.
#3 Good Health & Well-being. Sundhed & Trivsel.
"The mural is a poignant reminder that health is not just the absence of illness but a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.”

'The flight of the swallow' by Peruvian artist Jade Rivera. On Møllestien.
#4 Quality Education. Kvalitetsuddannelse.
“The mural celebrates the hope and limitless potential of the child's mind. By illuminating their inner universe, thousands of little stars fill their minds with magical ideas. It highlights how important it is to provide an education connected to curiosity and our cultural identity.”

‘Untitled’ by German artist Hera. On Skolebakken.
#5 Gender equality. Ligestilling mellem køn.
“I took HC Andersen’s Little Match Girl but allowed her to use her wares & her time in a different way: practicing her engineering skills; constructing a self-supporting bridge. In my version, she's not alone but in the company of other outcasts, the Ugly Duckling and Thumbelina, who boost their self-esteem by turning those matchsticks into crowns & wings.”

So far, I’ve posted 5 of the city’s 17 murals that promote the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Here comes the sixth.
I was about to apologetically add #MuteMeNow here, but if you’ve met me in the Fediverse for more than 17 seconds then you knew this thread wasn’t finished, didn’t you, and you’ve already muted it, haven’t you.
‘Faucet of life’ by Argentinian artist Ronmuralist. On Europaplads.

‘The White Circle’ by Spanish artist David De La Mano. On Mejlgade.
#7 Sustainable energy. Bæredygtig energi.
Not my fav Sustainable Development Goals mural. I sigh an unladylike sigh at the tired use of Bond-girly nude prancing women to represent "the cycle of life, connection to Earth & collaboration on ecological challenges." It'd be nice for once to see this problem symbolised by a circle of prancing businessmen, with or without their suits on.

‘Learning’ by Italian artist Millo. On Borggade.
#8 Decent Work and Economic Growth. Anstændige jobs og økonomisk vækst.
The artist’s motivation: "Labour rights and decent jobs that don’t harm the environment."
This is my favourite of the 17 murals painted around the city to promote the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. It literally stops everyone in their tracks because it is so stunning. You are compelled to stop, look up, look closer.

‘Deja Vu' by Spanish artist Cristian Blanxer. On Møllegade.
#9 Industry, innovation and infrastructure. Industri, innovation og infrastruktur.
"The security cameras and the smartwatch on the girl’s wrist are references to industry and innovation. It makes us reflect on how almost all of us are geolocated and monitored, and can spark a debate on how much control there is in society and on how much freedom we have left."

It’s a year since I posted the ninth of 17 murals that promote the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. I was just lulling you into a false sense of security. This thread ain’t over yet. Here’s the 10th.
#10 Reduced inequality. Mindre ulighed.
‘Life on the edge’ by French artist Mantra. On Frederiksgade.
“What we've lost is represented by a multitude of dead butterflies. What remains is a single butterfly. Life still weighs heavier than death.’
