Presentation of the artistic projects
realized with the public in 2017-2018
This year Mémoire de l'Avenir / memory of the future has conducted 20 Arts and Dialogue projects in the Ile de France, in primary schools (The TAP system), in colleges, with professional insertion plans, in community services, in prisons…
Memory of the Future also collaborates every year with Anna-Schmidt School (Frankfurt- Germany) and Professors Dorle Schmidt & Kathrin Höhne; and in Turkey with the D-Atelier association led by Alp Gani.
Each project has had the vocation to use the Arts as a tool of reflexion on the world, evoking societal, philosophical and cultural themes, related to an individual and to collective memories and identities inquiries ... aiming to bring each participant to cultivate an affirmative, constructive expression and outlook, on himself and on the other.
Creativity and invention are at the heart of these projects, both are an imperative factor in the process of gaining knowledge and self-confidence; they are an essential motor for personal realisation and accomplishments.
ÉMERVEILLEMENT- WONDER (part1)
MOMENT OR STATE,
UPHEAVAL, WONDER DEPENDS ON THE ASTONISHMENT LIVED.
It is not a question of some naive tinged with idealism. For Socrates, wonder is even at the origin of wisdom, and therefore of the philosophical quest. Indeed, without astonishment, without wonder, no thought can unfold. Astonishment is at the root of every search for certainty, for fact, for truth, for authenticity.
In a society where everything is designed, calculated, mastered, intellectualized and materialized, where everything must be profitable and effective, the wonder invites us to live a sensitive and poetic possibility: it allows the irruption of the unexpected, the surprise ... take the time to slow down. It is also, in a way, a return to childhood; and thus a bulwark against bitterness, fatigue, anxiety or superficiality.
Amazement is also resistance to indifference to the world and to others: taking responsibility, asserting the need for justice and ethics. There is no question of denying the sometimes tragic realities of life, but of welcoming them with humanity and benevolence, and of committing also to a more equitable world, which considers difference and diversity as enriching.
It is also a question of reconnecting with emotional intelligence: by a capacity for attention, listening and presence: at bottom, the simplest and most banal thing in the world can prove to be extraordinary. Is not life made up of coincidences, signs, and hazards? The sSimplicity of wonder, ephemeral, free and disinterested: the moment lived in the present account.
In wonder, there is "wonderful", and therefore the idea of the beautiful, the imaginary, the mystery, and thus, necessarily: the Arts….
Aren’t the Arts, just as the nature of all things, the privileged space to experience the amazement, marvels and sensations?…. they are able to generate shudder, shock, disruption or aesthetic dazzle. They have the capacity to provoke brief moments during which there is no longer any distinction between the subject and the object, where one leaves oneself, going beyond the limits of one's individuality , in a movement of full opening to the world and to lifeTaming the anxieties and fears that are his or hers and those of humanity, the artists are likely to provoke hope: To add life to life, to generate a surplus of life.
