Welcome to the Art Project GIFTS FROM THE STREET, a small boost to fulfill your dreams.
We live in a society full of haste and uncertainty; it is time to offer metaphor and poetry, restore solidarity, and discover the loving relationships between things.
We want this world of digital images to bring us closer to the real world, where, as people, we connect through synchronicity and dreams.
In the presence of beauty, one behaves not as a passive consumer but as an active and creative participant. In the presence of beauty, the soul is compelled to create something beautiful by itself.

About the Project GIFTS FROM THE STREET
GIFTS FROM THE STREET is an innovative art project designed to inspire and drive personal change through urban art and serendipity.
Deep changes can come from unexpected places, at unexpected times, and through small actions. This initiative aims to spark that small action, the unexpected push that drives change, providing the opportunity to develop dreams, wishes, and pending projects.
If you find a hat on the street with a letter attached to it, you have discovered a hidden treasure—something special waiting for you, the perfect excuse to take action.
How Does it Work?
- You might find a new hat with an envelope anywhere in the world. You can discover where we have left some on our Instagram @andanafoto or in the gallery at the end of this article.
- Discover the Message: Each hat contains a special letter; no two hats are alike.
- Seize the Opportunity: You already know what to do, the first step you need to take to reach your dream, fulfill your wishes, or develop your project. Do it!
Why a Hat?
The hat is the magical tool in our project. It is not just an object but a symbol of dreams, ideas, and opportunities. It encourages you to take action, feel protected and supported, and connect with a community of people who have found their hat.
An idea that does not develop in your head travels to other minds that can embrace it. This hat is the perfect metaphor for holding onto and developing what you dream of now.
Your Small Action
Everyone is different, and so are their challenges and desires. Think of an idea you have always wanted to pursue. The hat is a symbol to help you remember and work toward it. It can be anything: a project, a wish, a trip, making an important call, or even cooking something new. The hat is here to accompany you on your adventure! Start with the smallest step. Do it!
Your achievement can help others reach theirs. When you achieve a goal, you not only benefit yourself but also motivate others to follow in your footsteps. You are an inspiration. No matter how small, each achievement is a spark of hope for someone else.
By sharing your achievements –even the small ones– and the stories behind them, you create a domino effect of encouragement and support. You can be the push that someone needs.
How to Follow the Project and Achievements
You can follow the entire project and achievements on social media using the hashtag #giftsfromthestreet (or #loquemeregalalacalle in Spanish). You can also check it out at the end of this page.
The core idea of this project is personal transformation through community involvement. Finding a hat with a message on the street invites you to reflect on your own dreams and wishes while creating a network of exchange and community support.
