This year, artch is partnering with several cultural partners to organize workshops offered to all our visitors.
Artch is proud to partner with the 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 on a workshop around mental health and art. The two organizations brought together an artist from Les 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝔸𝕞é𝕝𝕚𝕖 ℙ𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕟, and a former artch artist, 𝔼𝕝𝕪𝕤𝕖 𝕃𝕖𝕨𝕚𝕤. This workshop was conceived as a moment, a mental and intimate space, linked to memory, through writing.
Participants will be invited to immerse themselves into their memories, into emotions according to each’s comfort level, for a free writing exercise, which can first recall the writing of a diary, played and open to all its forms.
The gesture-writing can be invested in raw, liberated, physical gestures until it is illegible or defined as a language invented by one’s own body. The participants are therefore invited to transform the text, to find a second meaning, through its materialization as a unique and personal work, then later as a collective work bringing together the work of all the participants.
