How it works?

Let’s Shake is a participatory art event encouraging people to extend a hand beyond their comfort zone and make a genuine connection with another person. The process involves casting the inside of a handshake while people sit and communicate with each other. The resulting shell-like forms are recorded boxed and stored to be used in various public artwork installations.
