HANDS FOR HUMANITY is the brainchild of American music manager, television producer, author, speaker, and non-profit philanthropist Ken Kragen, and Artist, Producer, and CEO of Cosmic Wire, Jerad Finck. The genesis of this project and final act of philanthropy was born out of Ken’s home office during the final months of his life and carried forward by his wife Cathy and daughter Emma.

The project will connect artists across the globe to create original artwork that represents their culture, their art, and their interpretation of what it means to be a part of the human family. Funds from the project will be used to help provide meals for those who don’t have enough to eat through WhyHunger, UNICEF Ukraine, NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council), and Ocean Conservancy.

Hands for Humanity will set up a “pop-up” tabletop studio at the NIGHTB4® NYFW event curated by Pantera Sarah, Ronnie Madra, Richie Akiva, and VAST at 1OAK or another New York venue. Michael Jurkovac will shoot Hassleblad portraits like those featured in this deck and anyone who participates will receive a FREE NFT from the collection, 2 whitelist spots for the drop, and be credited with a 1 ETH donation which will be paid for by COLLAB partners and/or brands integrated into the photos.

This will be a repeat of the NYFW but with a twist – in London or Los Angeles everything is shot on a white background at the NIGHTB4® LFW curated by Zeus Sherlock, Tim Wade, and VAST at TAPE or another London Venue with performances by The Bloom Twins, FAIITH, YungBlud, and other guests or at another curated event held in LA with Pantera Sarah and guests.
