Hands on Hearts  feel-see the heartbeat of the world

GLOBAL ART PROJECT (MARCH - SEPTEMBER, 2021)

< BACK

Taking a poetics piece from 2005, DMo began a video collaboration with South Korean performer Sujin Lee, which resulted in the collaged video art piece Hands on Hearts (2021). This video has ushered in the Hands on Hearts global art project, to act as a timely reminder of our aliveness, and an interconnectedness running through life that we rarely notice.  Now more than ever, when democracy hangs in the balance and deception is rife, do we need to recognize our connection and the power that lies in this truth. Let's make visible a universal heartbeat that is always beating, whether we notice it or not. Let's tune into a loving light energy that is always present in life, whether we notice it or not...and just maybe, we will stand together with hands on hearts and protect our humanity!

Share your heartbeat
DMo invites people around the world to participate in the project by sending in their own #HandsonHearts pose to have it collaged with DMo's, to then share the united heartbeats around the world via social media. The pictures will go on to form part of a large tiled image of all the #HandsonHearts entries entitled The Heartbeat of the World, with the possibility of also being part of a time-lapsed video.

Submissions will be accepted in rounds...
First round: March 5 - April 5, 2021
Second round: May 31 - June 30, 2021
Third round: August 12 - September 30, 2021

In conjunction with this project, DMo is collaborating with Reiki Master Teacher and ReiMoves Founder Monica Brunello to schedule #handsonhearts world healing sessions, to encourage everyone to use the healing power of loving thoughts, feelings, intentions to collectively embrace humanity and the world. Monica will be setting up an energy grid for each session. Let's use our loving powers to heal and unite!
Session details:
Saturday Sept 25, 2021 @ 08:00 (GMT)*
Saturday Sept 4, 2021 @ 21:00 (GMT)*

*If you can't make the session, you can energetically send it forward to the time
