Jamshedpur: City’s renowned artist and international judge Swati Ghosh has once again brought glory to the nation by representing India at the World Peace Summit held in South Korea. From September 16 to 20, in Seoul and Cheongju, the HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace and Restoration of Light) World Peace Summit and the special session of the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) included her as part of the jury panel. This platform marked a new level of recognition for India’s art and culture.
Only three international judges were selected from across the world, one from South Korea, one from Europe, and one from India, represented by Swati Ghosh. She received a warm welcome upon arrival at the airport, and at the summit venue she was honored as a special guest. On stage, when she was presented with a certificate and a memento, the Indian tricolor was placed in front of her, making the moment even more proud and significant.
More than 800 international delegates attended this peace summit, including heads of state, ministers, speakers of parliaments, spiritual leaders, and representatives of women’s and youth organizations. The central themes of the summit were peace education, women’s leadership, cultural cooperation, and collective strategies for establishing global peace.
In her address, Swati Ghosh said, “It is a matter of pride for me to represent India. My goal is to spread the message of peace through art and education. Women can guide the coming generations towards the path of peace and harmony.” Organizers also acknowledged that art and culture are becoming highly effective tools in strengthening peace education and empowering women’s leadership globally. For this reason, Swati Ghosh was specially recognized on this platform as an “Ambassador of Peace.”
Born on 28 July 1983, Swati Ghosh has already established a remarkable international identity in the field of art. She was recognized as the first Indian woman art judge at the International Council of Arts Federation (ICAF), and was also appointed as a Cultural Ambassador by ICOM-ASPAC. Her paintings have been exhibited on prestigious platforms such as Paris, Italy, and New York Times Square. In 2024, she was honored in Paris with the Diplôme de Médaille d’Étain and the Médaille d’Honneur du Travail. This new recognition in South Korea proves that Indian artists are not limited to cultural representation alone but are also playing a leading role in giving new direction to world peace and women’s leadership at the global level.
