Open Hand is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that partners with communities across the world to develop creative media projects and educational museum exhibits that nurture social justice.
Our projects help developing communities independently protect, celebrate, and share their cultural heritage—while also challenging us all to rethink our assumptions about others.
Our local partners generate sustainable economic value from these collaborations by directly reinvesting project proceeds to meet immediate needs such as clean water, more sustainable food, and better education.
What if culture preserved its intellectual, aesthetic, and social value, and served as an empowering foundation for community development? Welcome to our site.
A book and exhibit that benefit the Chipaya Water Project and our other programs.
