Handkind / Rebirth Day (2014)

This video shows Handkind a participatory art project in London 2014, in partnership with Open Age and Housing & Care 21. The project celebrates Italian artist Michaelangelo Pistoletto's Rebirth-Day / Third Paradise 2014. With a collective action to encourage global arts participation for people with mental health issues including dementia. "This hand - this professor of grasping, seizing, pulling, plucking, picking, pinching, pressing, patting, poking, prodding, fumbling, squeezing, crushing, throttling, punching, rubbing, scratching, groping, stroking, caressing, fingering, drumming, shaping, lifting, flicking, catching, throwing and much else besides - is the master tool of human life." - Raymond Tallis 'The Hand: A Philosophical Inquiry into Human Being' http://www.terzoparadiso.org
