The Art Department of WE-Hope was born. Threshold and Di + are part of it.
One of the reflections born within the AD is how to be able to trigger a creative process specific to contemporary art starting from the members of the team. An activator from the relational point of view in function of the socially engaged approach. An experience that is born from unresolved questions.
Can you connect trauma to creativity and innovation at WE-Hope? Can we connect our own trauma to the trauma of the "others" we interview? Are we willing to expose our trauma to the gaze of "others"? Can we connect trauma to the possible plurality of viewpoints until we have no fixed point from which to look at things? The role of the arts is to ask questions that are often uncomfortable. The role of the arts is to find connections that flow into poetic landscapes. One example of all is Gothic architecture which, in order to find a way to realize its aspiration for light and spiritual elevation, produced innovation by building its own carpentry made of modified tools and unprecedented capabilities. Body and tools have allowed brick after brick, to realize the dream. This is why the arts do what others do not.
To speak of war, covid, memory is to speak of trauma. Etymology is a first step toward carpentry.

Do we share a common motif in trauma?
The questions are open and an art experiment on trauma is underway in WE-Hope.
The results will be the litmus test.
Stay tuned
