Sailing for Sustainability
A very special regatta started on August 22, 2021 in Monheim am Rhein: seventeen sailboats, with sails that were expressively interpreted by artist Stefan Szczesny with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the campaign #Art4GlobalGoal, started their course on the Rhein under clear blue skies in the direction of Düsseldorf where they later arrived while increasing awareness of the sustainability goals along the way. We are already looking forward to the next stage of the regatta and the related exhibit on September 25, 2021 in Koblenz.
