In January 2025, the Hum Sab Ek (We Are One) exhibition was showcased at The World Bank Headquarters’ Glass Gallery and the main atrium in Washington, D.C. It marks the second stop of this traveling exhibition outside Harvard University after a visit at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City in September.

An opening panel discussion on January 8, addressed themes ranging from the role of a researcher working with communities, how to achieve structural societal changes, including overcoming poverty by shifting decision-making to the poor, and the need to put local communities at the center of development strategies. Panelists based their insights from the story of the Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) from India as shown in the Hum Sab Ek (We Are One) exhibit and their learnings from working with SEWA in various capacities.
