The Hearts Of Fire project brings the voice of homeless people to the public through compelling expressions of their art and music. We capture this expression on site in partnership with local homeless service agencies using mobile recording and art studios. We tap into the vast pool of artistic talent among the homeless and use that talent to not only draw attention to the issue of homelessness, but to begin a fundamental shift in how people relate to the homeless. By facilitating, capturing and publicizing the art and music of homeless men, women and children, we vividly display the face of their humanity to the world.
