Art competition puts future of humanity on canvas
True Love by Izabela Kowalska-Wieczorek from Poland.
An online international comic and illustration exhibition was held recently to showcase the profound impact of technology on daily life while building bridges among diverse cultures.
The event, the 2025 Community of Shared Future for Humanity International Comic and Illustration Exhibition, was a collaborative effort by China Daily and the Bank of China in Beijing. Artists from 58 countries and regions submitted nearly 3,100 pieces for the exhibition, with over 1,200 entries coming from abroad. The exhibition provided a multilingual platform to ensure inclusivity and foster global dialogue. The artworks on display were a testament to human creativity and insight.
Plausible But False by Yang Duoyi from China.
This year, the exhibition introduced the Youth Excellence Award. Over 600 submissions came from young artists, bursting with imagination and innocence. Although their techniques were less polished than those of their adult counterparts, their work was rich in creativity and hope.

These are quite fascinating, but what one may wonder if AI was used in the creation of any of them.
I find most off them quite disturbing, I wonder what is the future of mankind ?
I doubt that either of us will be around when their message becomes reality.
