The collection features entries from the EMC Foundation's 'Guyana Through Your Eyes' photography exhibition held at Castellani House on August 19, 2023. The exhibition, featuring work from talented photographers across Guyana, celebrates the country's vibrant environment and cultural heritage.

In a brief statement, the EMC Foundation Founder and Director, Shyam Nokta, stated, "Photography serves as a powerful catalyst for change, enabling us to capture the essence of our surroundings and advocate for the planet's future. The "Guyana Through Your Eyes" exhibition offered diverse perspectives on Guyana's natural and cultural heritage, and I'm pleased these images can now be featured at the UN House and shared with the world."

Yeşim Oruç, UN Resident Coordinator, remarked, "The United Nations is privileged to host this collection depicting Guyana's cultural diversity and stunning ecosystems, skilfully captured by talented photographers across the country. These captivating images are poised to attract significant interest among our diverse visitors, sparking curiosity and inspiring questions that contribute to heightened environmental awareness."

The EMC Foundation and the United Nations have been working together to advance environmental education and awareness in Guyana. Hosting the "Guyana Through Your Eyes" gallery at the UN House further strengthens our joint commitment to achieving this objective.
