" If there was only one message of wisdom you could leave behind for humanity what would it be ? " |

' Hands
that Shape Humanity '
is an International art Exhibition that collects simple messages of wisdom
from iconic men and women from all walks of life, from around the
world. They have been invited to narrate their message of wisdom on film, portray their message as a handwritten piece, are interpreted through photography and have their expressive hands cast in bronze. These messages are traveling the world as a four year long multi-media art exhibition and will finally be housed as a permanent exhibition in the Desmond Tutu Museum of Peace in Cape Town, South Africa. Proceeds from the exhibition benefit the Desmond Tutu Peace Centre and it's global projects and programmes. |
