By Andrey Bartenev and 200+ New York city residents as a part of DUMBO Arts Festival 2012.

“Our need to be happy and our dreams of love are the basis for the existence of human race and the most delicate connection between all beings. The importance of happiness is above religion, politics, social agendas or economic needs. Seeking our happiness collectively and focusing on the dreams of others helps us meet our own. Bubbles of Hope is a ritual, a collective meditative act, which can strengthen our own abilities to dream, to hope and to fulfill our own personal goals. Together we are stronger, and our hopes and dreams are bigger.” Andrey Bartenev

Thousands of people followed us during the procession at DUMBO on a sunny Saturday afternoon, September 28th, over a hundred volunteers worked with us as artists, musicians, organizers. It was a massive public action!
