With the Support of RAUIE Creative Industries Committee Partners the Exhibition "Kindness as Art" opens

The exhibition opens the BRICS Anniversary Week, dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the association in 2026, with a large‑scale international dialogue on meanings and the universal human concept of kindness.

Venue: Moscow, 1 Nikoloyamskaya Street.
Dates: June 15–20.

"Each image combines two layers: a person's personal story about kindness and objective data about what they felt while telling it," explains Daria Kasyanova, Member of the RAUIE Committee for Creative Industries and curator of the project.

The collection is created at the intersection of science and art, using a proprietary neural network developed by the international phygital project of scientific volunteering "Comfortable City." The project has already proven itself in urban environment and quality‑of‑life research, showcasing creative solutions from our expert team's R&D efforts within the framework of the "Decade of Science and Technology 2022–2031."

Programme of the BRICS Anniversary Week:

• June 15 – Book Day: Presentation by the publishing house "Ves Mir" on BRICS and SCO countries; meeting with experts in international relations and intercultural communication.
• June 16 – BRICS Day: The main event of the week, focusing on the outcomes of BRICS' 20‑year history and prospects for cooperation. Participants include representatives from government, business, science, and the media.

Additionally, the BRICS+ Media Centre features another exhibition by the RAUIE Committee for Creative Industries and its partners – a multimedia exhibition titled "Symbols of BRICS+", which presents the cultural and national symbols of each BRICS+ country in augmented reality. The exhibition also has a practical application: visitors can take a survey (in Russian and English) for a large‑scale study on ecology in BRICS+ countries.
