ILO100 Murals NYC

An art-diplomacy experience

Experience one of the most inspiring self-guided Art Walk ever created, with murals celebrating the centennial of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the oldest United Nations agency.

Located close to the United Nations between East 42nd and East 48th street, these murals depict the social justice and fair employment challenges we are facing in terms of green jobs, gender equality at work, eradication of child and forced labor, youth employment, and future of work.

Participating artists: Clandestinos, Faith 47, Jorge Gerada, Mr Cenz and Victor Ash. Production and Curation: Street Art for Mankind.
