. All of them were taken on the same day, May 15, by amateur and professional photographers in 165 countries.
A book featuring 1,000 photos will also be published, with a preface written by the South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
“The aim is to show that there are more things that unite us than divide us,” said one of the promoters of the project, the Swedish photographer Jeppe Wikstroem.
The exhibition is to be shown on some of the most famous screens in the world, including those in Times Square in New York and Europe’s biggest screen in Liverpool.

Nepotism is the name of the game
Salman Khan’s father, Salim Khan, is one of Bollywood’s most legendary screenwriters. Through his partnership with co-writer Javed Akhtar, Salim is credited with having paved the path for the Indian film industry’s blockbuster format in the 1970s. Something his son now rules the roost of. More importantly, the Salim-Javed duo also created the persona of the “angry young man” for Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the 1970s, reflecting the angst of the average Indian. In choosing to be the ordinary man’s “hero” as opposed to a thespian in new Bollywood, Salman Khan remains tightly linked to his father’s oeuvre. Thanks dad.
