Sketching Antimicrobial Resistance

Thirty stories, One Health

There is a world within us and around us, invisible, ancient, and alive. A universe of microbes that help us digest food, protect our skin, and keep ecosystems balanced. Most of them live in harmony with us, but some can cause diseases. And, like every form of life, they adapt to survive. When they know how to withstand the medicines made to stop them, we encounter one of the most pressing health challenges of our time: antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

This exhibition is an invitation to look closer: to discover the beauty of a balanced microbial world and the power we hold to preserve it. 30 illustrators. 30 countries. Each illustration and message tells a piece of this shared story, one that belongs to all of us. Because taking care of our antibiotics means taking care of life itself.
