Global collage featuring student artwork to be showcased in Paris
April 11, 2025, Petaling Jaya – Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today held a ‘Bouquet of Peace’ art workshop with students from Universiti Malaya, as part of a global initiative to celebrate the launch of the brand’s first-ever collaboration with legendary artist Pablo Picasso. The completed artwork, inspired by Picasso’s timeless message of peace, will be added to a collective global collage, which will be assembled at the Musée National Picasso, and exhibited at UNIQLO Marais store, Paris from May.
At the workshop, which was facilitated by non-profit arts organisation Artolution, the 50 participating students were encouraged to reflect on the message of peace conveyed by Picasso’s artwork ‘Bouquet of Friendship’ (1958), which features on UNIQLO’s newest PEACE FOR ALL charity T-shirt. All profits from sales of PEACE FOR ALL T-shirts are donated to international aid organisations working to support communities impacted by armed conflict and hardship around the world.
Tomohisa Kikuchi, Chief Financial Officer, UNIQLO Malaysia, said: “At UNIQLO, we believe in the Power of Clothing, and through the PEACE FOR ALL project, we recognise that a single T-shirt has the ability to spread peace, foster connection, and inspire change. Through the ‘Bouquet of Peace’ initiative, we are not only honouring the legacy of Picasso but also using the universal language of art to unite communities around a shared vision of peace. This initiative fosters the spirit of Picasso’s message, transcending boundaries and continuing to inspire hearts today.”
