The Swiss watchmaking Company Corum joined efforts with Special Olympics, the international non-profit organization which helps people with intellectual disabilities. Together they organized a ‘call-to-action’ art exhibition in Singapore. The exhibition was called Road to Nowhere.
Visitors of the exhibition were invited to see moving sights of a world neglected by many of us and questions human beliefs and attitudes related to the subject.
For the modern world with its fast-growing slums the slogan ‘Able first, disabled LAST’******0****** bears special importance. Today it is a norm that implies people with intellectual disabilities get a place last in line. People who find themselves neglected amongst the already disadvantaged suffer from the absence of basic health-care, nutrition, sanitation, and immunization.
Nowadays, we have one billion people living in slums - that is a third of the urban population. The percentage of those with intellectual disabilities living in slums is double in comparison to the estimated global average of 3 percent.
In the period from 1st to 31st December 2007, for every Corum Admiral’s Cup watch sold, the brand donated a part of the money to Special Olympics Singapore in an attempt to support the less fortunate.
The prints available on display were sold at the end of the Road to Nowhere exhibition. Visitors could also acquire canvases painted by intellectually disabled people living in slums. All proceeds are tax exempt and go to support Special Olympics Singapore.
