PARIS (AP) — Pop star and fashion designer Pharrell Williams was named UNESCO’s
goodwill ambassador for artistic education and entrepreneurship on Tuesday in
Paris, continuing his cultural dominance of the French capital as Louis Vuitton
menswear artistic director and performer at Notre Dame Cathedral’s reopening
earlier this month.

Williams said he hoped to “deepen that sense of unity and togetherness” in work
that “evens the odds for marginalized communities.”

He also spoke about his impoverished youth, adding: “Growing up in Virginia,
never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be given an opportunity like this
one.”



The role of goodwill ambassador for the Paris-based U.N. cultural agency
involves promoting its initiatives that include protecting Indigenous cultures,
advancing education and health care for women, raising awareness about genocide
prevention and safeguarding cultural heritage.

The U.N. agency said Williams will be “a mentor and role model for young
creators, particularly in Africa, where UNESCO supports the development of
cultural industries.”

Williams joins a list of goodwill ambassadors that includes U.S. jazz musician
Herbie Hancock, Brazilian artist Vik Muniz and Japanese filmmaker Naomi Kawase.



Williams has been particularly visible in Paris this year. Shortly before the
Paris Olympics, his role as Louis Vuitton menswear designer took center stage
during a star-studded event at UNESCO’s headquarters. The show, celebrating the
beauty of human skin, featured models wearing garments in shades representing
the diverse hues of humanity.

UNESCO leaders hope that Williams’ global influence and deep connections to
fashion and music will draw fresh attention to the agency’s work.

Williams is American, and his selection as goodwill ambassador also may be
highlighting the readmission of the United States to UNESCO last year.

The U.S. exit under President Donald Trump cited alleged anti-Israel bias within
the agency. The decision followed a 2011 decision by UNESCO to include Palestine
as a member state, which led the U.S. and Israel to cease financing for the
agency.



The U.S. return under President Joe Biden was marked by a flag-raising ceremony
attended by U.S. First Lady Jill Biden.
