To help bring this to life, VINCI Airports, the world's first private airport operator, is partnering with blockchain-based non-profit, CODE GREEN led by Inna Modja - Malian artist, musician, and climate activist - and WORLD OF WOMEN, led by Yam Karkai, co-founder and artist of the highest-grossing women-centric NFT collection, featuring digital artworks of diverse and powerful women.
VINCI Airports will be presenting its passengers with artworks from digital artists Alexa Meade , Allison Harvard , Amber Vittoria , Diela Maharanie, Dong Lu , Elise Swopes , Inna Modja, Izzako, Jess Bianchi , Lana Denina , Laurel Charleston , Laya Mathikshara, Linda Dounia Rebeiz , Livia Elektra, Marjan Moghaddam , Roya Serwah Attafuah, Shavonne Wong , Synchrodogs, Vaby Vel, Zhuk and Yam Karkai. Some of the artworks were first presented at the World Economic Forum, raising more than $250,000 for women-led climate solutions for the Great Green Wall - an African-led initiative growing an 8000km wall of trees across the width of the Continent from Senegal to Djibouti .
This initiative reminds how much the airport sector, and mobility in general, positively contribute to cultural openness, by enabling human contact and the discovery of others. The activation also highlights the linkages between technology, environmental protection and gender equality - with women and girls by far the biggest victims of the accelerating climate emergency.
The initiative shines a light on the unique role of women in that fight. VINCI Airports is accelerating plans by supporting the careers of women within its network. Women are making up 37% of its workforce and growingly hold leadership positions as airport CEOs in the Dominican Republic , Cambodia , Brazil , the United States and France .
