Healing the World Through Art
La Voie Lactée, 2021
Healing the World Through Art is an interdisciplinary research and creation program developed since 2019, exploring the capacity of art to contribute to individual, social, and environmental regeneration. Bringing together artists, researchers, healthcare professionals, scientists, and local communities, the project investigates how creative practices can foster resilience, dialogue, and sustainable futures.
The program is structured around three interconnected axes. The first focuses on non-extractive development and circular economy, exploring alternative models of production, resource management, and cultural innovation that promote sustainability and social responsibility. The second addresses ecology and the environment, examining the relationships between humans and living ecosystems while encouraging new forms of ecological awareness and engagement. The third axis is dedicated to post-traumatic healing and recovery, particularly through art therapy, participatory artistic practices, and collective experiences that support emotional, psychological, and social reconstruction.
Positioned at the intersection of contemporary art, science, health, and social innovation, Healing the World Through Art develops exhibitions, workshops, research initiatives, publications, and community-based projects. Through these activities, it investigates how artistic processes can become tools for care, empowerment, and transformation.
By understanding healing not only as a medical process but also as a cultural, ecological, and collective practice, the project proposes art as a catalyst for dialogue, regeneration, and social cohesion. It demonstrates how creativity can help reconnect people with one another, with their environments, and with new visions of a more sustainable and compassionate world. An exhibition inspired by a historical dictionary of women warriors and the ways female courage, power and identity have been represented throughout history. The project explores the relationship between gender, heroism and social expectations through a dialogue between two artists.

Through the new hamo space, the institution develops inclusive practices and research around mental diversity, neurodiversity and vulnerability, aiming to rethink how art institutions engage with diverse audiences.
