The World’s Biggest Hug

Conselho Nacional Do Sesi, the national council of social services in Brazil, ran the world’s biggest hug over two days in October 2010 using the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. Over two nights the statue’s spotlights were turned off, allowing projections of cityscapes and 3D imagery to create the illusion that Christ was closing his arms around the city. The symbolic 3D hugs were linked to the number of visitors to the Carinho de Verdade (True Affection) campaign site, raising public awareness of the impact of sexual abuse on children and teenagers, and encouraging the development of healthy relationships of trust.
