Blindly Embracing Strangers

'The Anonymous Hugging Wall' Lets You Cuddle Without Judgement

Ever imagined what it would be like to hug someone if you were blind? The Anonymous Hugging Wall consists of a giant pink tarp with arm holes that allows you to hug a stranger (and yes, feel their body heat against yours) on the other side without seeing them.

This allows you to connect with people without judging them on their appearance, or from feeling judged yourself.
