A unique interactive experience that will connect visitors with children all around the globe is coming to Boston. Through the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and award-winning design firm Moment Factory, “Heart Strings: Creating Connection with the World’s Children” is an all-ages ticketed experience that combines immersive storytelling and music for a first-of-its-kind “experience-for-good.” The exhibit will be at the Cyclorama at the Boston Center for the Arts from May 17 through June 2.

Spotlighting the power behind the youth voice, attendees experience eight interactive zones that tell the stories of children and their families through the lens of crucial issues like healthcare, education, protection, and respect. Heart Strings’ engaging activities use interactive multimedia, lighting effects, and music. Guests will even become part of a universal song by adding their own pulse, lyrics, and voice to the melody.

The tour of this exhibition will also make stops in Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, San Francisco, South Florida, Washington D.C., Houston, Atlanta, and Chicago.

UNICEF USA will host an opening night celebration on May 16 at 6 p.m. Those interested can scoop up tickets for a first-look tour here. The waitlist for tickets to the experience is April 11, with pre-sale beginning April 17, and traditional sales beginning April 18.
