L'Art agrandit la vie
The contact with works of art is an essential tool of emancipation. For people who feel excluded, the presence of culture is even more important as a sign of shared humanity. The loss of one's home, of one's freedom, of one's social ties is always synonymous with a destruction of one's dignity. Art and culture help rebuild it. Refusing not to see those who are locked away, we wish to shine a light on the place of art in an environment without freedom.
