While the prison sets its limits to the body, the arts and an artistic practice are an opening for the mind, allowing everyone to imagine, to dream and to hope for future opportunities.
Art offers each the possibility to create, using intuitive personal languages expressing freely on varies individual and collective questions. A sensitive means of communication that allows each to spring from their perception or viewpoint, using their actual state of mind, as for the viewer or for the listener, it invites each to question, to interpret, to understand, to know and to feel,.
The Arts and artistic practices are manners that involve everyone in self-assertiveness, while sharing personal stories and experiences that can reflect on daily preoccupation and propose an interrogation about the questions of cross identities, while it promotes the development of critical thinking.
Beyond political or religious considerations, Art is a reflection of the plurality of histories and stories of each and of humanity.
Art brings people to dialogue and to challenge their differences similitude and universalism at once.
The Arts and Cultures are tools and an approach to the monde and to knowledge.
