Hands of the World
International community visual arts project, created by Adrian Arias.
On July 23, 2020, Adrian made a call on social networks, for people from all over the world who would like to send a drawing of their hand, expressing feelings about what we are experiencing.
After 5 weeks, Adrian had received more than 100 drawn hands, which people from different parts of the world had sent him by email.
Hands received from Spain, Peru, France, Canada, Argentina, Mexico, Thailand, Japan, different states of the USA, and more countries, are the symbol of union, strength, affection, loneliness, protest, help, sadness, solidarity and love of people who are going through the same pandemic situation and eventual confinement in their homes.
On Friday, December 4 at 6pm, we will display these hands from around the world in the windows of the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts in San Francisco, in a collective and community effort, which shows that in times of silence, pain and
despair, do Art can help us process what is happening to us and can also help others to connect, hand in hand, virtually for now, in this global embrace.
Proyecto comunitario internacional de artes visuales, creado por Adrián Arias.
El 23 de julio del 2020, Adrián hizo una convocatoria en redes sociales, para personas de todo el mundo que quisieran enviar un dibujo de su mano, que expresara sus sentimientos acerca de lo que estamos viviendo.
Después de 5 semanas, Adrián había recibido más de 100 manos dibujadas, que personas de diferentes partes del mundo le habían enviado por correo electrónico. Manos recibidas desde España, Perú, Francia, Canadá, Argentina, México, Tailandia, Japón, diferentes estados de USA, y más países, son el símbolo de unión, fuerza, cariño, soledad, protesta, ayuda, tristeza, solidaridad y amor de gente que está pasando por la misma situación de pandemia y eventual encierro en sus casas.
El viernes 4 de diciembre a las 6pm, mostraremos estas manos de todo el mundo en las ventanas del Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts de San Francisco, en un esfuerzo colectivo y comunitario, que demuestra que en épocas de silencio, dolor y
desesperación, hacer arte nos puede ayudar a procesar lo que nos está pasando y también puede ayudar a otros a conectarse, mano a mano, virtualmente por ahora, en este abrazo mundial.
