Open Hand is a nonprofit organization that partners with communities across the world to create hands-on museum exhibits and virtual media that nurture social justice.
Our projects help developing communities independently protect, celebrate, and share their cultural heritage--while also challenging visitors to rethink their assumptions about others.
Our partners generate sustainable economic value from these exhibits by directly reinvesting proceeds to meet pressing community needs such as food, clean water, and education.
What if culture preserved its intellectual, aesthetic, and social value, and served as an empowering economic resource? Welcome to our site.
