Our goal is to spread TOLERANCE AND ART. We want our community to get to know different international artists and discover different arts and cultures.
This exhibition delves into the shared emotions and challenges faced by children worldwide, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers. Featuring works from a variety of artists, the exhibition presents paintings, poster's and multimedia installations, each capturing the innocence, joy, fears, and resilience that define the early years of life.
By highlighting how children, regardless of their backgrounds, express similar emotions, the exhibition fosters empathy and understanding, encouraging viewers to reflect on the common threads that unite humanity. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of nurturing and protecting the youngest among us, as their cries for attention, love, and care echo universally.

Visit the Mercado das Areias de São João and discover this new environment where art, culture, and tradition come together to offer unique experiences. We believe that by valuing the work of our artists, we are contributing to strengthening the local cultural identity and creating deeper ties between the community and art.
DIVERSITY is our strength, not a disadvantage!
The "No/body shaming" project was created at the Collect Art World Gallery in Malaysia.
The exhibition, announced on January 18, 2024, is accompanied by discussion panels, workshops and artistic competitions. The entire project is planned to be exhibited in several galleries and international schools in Kuala Lumpur until May 2024.
The primary goal of this initiative is to eliminate self-aggression, accept all weaknesses of your body and mind, create a positive environment, TOLERANCE and UNDERSTANDING. Through the international language of art, the exhibition inspires visitors to accept their uniqueness and celebrate the beauty of diversity. Artists from Poland and Malaysia present works that stimulate discussion about problems related to multiculturalism.
Guests special attention is attracted by unusual photos, posters, paintings and media by artists from the Academy of Art in Szczecin: Dr hab. Małgorzata Kopczynska, Dr. Dominika Zawojska-Kuriata, Dr. Joanna Tokarczyk - Zmurkow, Dr. Agnieszka Dajczak, Prof. Ph.D. Arkadiusz Marcinkowski, Grażyna Pasterska-Napadło, Elżbieta Wasylyk and Natalia Szostak. The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Kuala Lumpur took honorary patronage of the entire concept. The curator of the entire project is the collector and owner of the Polish gallery in Malaysia - Mrs. Monika Lauridsen, and the ETNOSTER Art Foundation supports, connects and represents Polish artists abroad. "No/body shaming" as a symbol of integrity, thematic unity and the power of the international language of art is constantly expanded and planned in other galleries around the world.
