2021 AUGUST-SEPTEMBER: INNERE REISEN. This summer I assisted two great art therapists conducing an inclusive project open to any gender and nationality, to people with or without disabilities. Each Saturday 5 to 10 participants explored their feelings and thoughts and experimented with their creativity using different materials and techniques.
It was a pleasure to be invited to design and conduce one of this appointments.
I led a three hours photo-therapy workshop on the topic: “my roots”.
By sharing their stories through the images they brought in and reflecting on their skills, talents and achievements, the participants moved on to construct their “garden of life”. Each of them had the time to reflect on their work and the topic “roots” presenting their garden to the group.

2019 – ONGOING: VITE MIGRATE. We are all migrants -TODOS SOMOS MIGRANTES (if not you, your parents, or your grandparents, the great-grandfathers, surely your great-great-grandfathers…) This statement can create different reactions, not everyone feels that they can or want to call themselves migrants. Vite Migrate is a series of workshop-experiences in which participants are invited to connect with their own experience of migration, sharing memories and emotions with the group through personal photographs.
Each participant has the possibility to recognise something new about his/her experience, find common points between their experience and those of others, or simply get to know something more about the life of the person who sit next to them.

2019 OCTOBER: BUNTSTIFTE a creative and inclusive project for women by women: in a protected atmosphere, women with or without a history of migration and displacement, with or without disabilities, meet and share their experiences while trying something new. Art therapy gives participants the opportunity to express their feelings, deepen their self-awareness and build self-confidence. The creative, free and playful activities offer the possibility to express oneself without pressure, without any performance demands and without big words. In art there is no right and no wrong! The project offers a field for trial treatment and creates a space for new experiences and action.
