Today, during an interview, I spoke about why Roses of Ties creates new opportunities for women.
What began as an artistic response to war has evolved into a platform that connects some of the most important challenges of our time.
Through participatory art, Roses of Ties brings together:
Peacebuilding
Sustainability through upcycling
Mental health and well-being
Human rights
Women’s empowerment and visibility
Preserving the cultural heritage and collective memory of communities and minorities
Community building and social inclusion
These values are closely connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly:
Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3)
Gender Equality (SDG 5)
Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10)
Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11)
Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12)
Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (SDG 16)
Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17)
Roses of Ties is not simply about transforming neckties into roses. It is about transforming memories into dialogue, discarded materials into collectible wearable artworks, and individual stories into a shared commitment to peace, culture, and hope.
Every rose carries a story. Every story has the power to build a more connected world.
