Glimpsing Gallery Shows Humane Crisis And Work Of Top Charity

Heart Strings, presented by children's charity UNICEF, is currently on display at the former Cyclorama site in Boston.

BOSTON, MA- UNICEF, the leading worldwide charity for children’s rights and protection, is presenting an exhibition called Heart Strings. This exhibition is currently on display through Early June at the former Cyclorama gallery in Boston’s Prudential district. The exhibit provides a fully immersive experience for those in attendance. Through VR designed video boards, activities such as dancing with children in other parts of the world (pre-recorded), and carrying virtually the basic needs of survival. It all ties together with ‘strings’ of a unified song at the end. While raising some funds for UNICEF’s work, it is more importantly spreading awareness. Northeast Regional Director, Yasmin Hajj, echoed this objective, saying “regardless of the money, if people come to the exhibit and take away a better understanding for our work, that’s a win”.

The exhibit is located at 538 Clarendon St in Boston. Open 11am-7pm (weekdays) and 10am-8pm (weekends) through Early June. Tickets are still available and can be purchased online at this link. For those who may not be able to attend but still want to help the charity, you can use this link for info about donations.

Additionally, recent exhibitions in Atlanta and Houston have ended, and upcoming after the Boston exhibit is a version in Chicago. To see all the national dates of the exhibit beyond Boston, you can click here.
