ART THERAPY at the Scalabrini Centre :

women show off their creative masterpieces

Ten women coming from several African countries.

They are full of self-confidence and self-esteem, which has been boosted by their recent completion of an art therapy course led by art therapist Sylvie Groschatau-Phillips. This course is set within AMKA workshop, a collaborative effort between the Employment Access Programme and the Welfare Programme of Scalabrini Centre.

AMKA, a Swahili word meaning ‘wake up’, is a workshop that consists of the several modules: life skills, stress management, HIV/AIDS awareness, basic computer skills, job readiness skills, human rights, information session and art therapy. Furthermore, it provides ladies with sustained career guidance via the Employment Access Programme, which provides the long-term support needed to successfully secure employment after their training. Only a pool of selected women can take part in this workshop.

"From Zimbabwe to Graulhet via the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, the Body Maps travel and call out to one another. We ask the image to tell its own story, to go back in time, to relocate and relate events, to give them meaning: the method is very intuitive, based on respect, communication.
The full length Body Map: choosing a pose. Working two by two, drawing one another’s contour. Accepting to see one’s self drawn. Exploring through drawing, photos, texts, collages. Choosing forms, materials, colors, telling the story from inside the contours of the body map, like a diary, a portrait, a message.
After being worked on horizontally during the workshops, the Body Maps are raised on a vertical and exhibited. They are then seen in another perspective."
Sylvie Groschatau, Femmes de Mars 2013

▶ AnZu - "Mushroom Manifesto" - February-March 2014 - France

Exhibition of drawings and mushroom prints at l’ibère familier , Graulhet - Tarn

An explosion. A dramatic ejaculation of particles disperses the seed toward the ground in the mushroom’s reproductive cycle.

Here the spores are disseminated on paper that captures the annual manna of fecundity.

Contrary to the chemical industry (including that of paint) and the permanent diffusion of toxins with their consequences, AnZu reveals a natural and subtle mystery : the emission of mushroom spores.

Suggestive figures co-habit in cloud-like traces in order to create a conscious link between the necessity for humans to integrate themselves within Nature as well as achieving a mental detachment relative to it.

DECOLLAGES

The world of theatre meets the public eye on the walls of our cities. Calling to our attention the forth-coming instances of entertainment – hope, doom and prophecy.

And what is left behind after these events are absorbed into memory? As hands rip and tear the evidence from before our eyes, worlds collide. Earths pot of humanity stirs in a thickness of events and circumstance, history dissolves into a flat reality of interconnectedness. This work peals away the layers as the archeologist describes our memory horizontally.

Jacque Villegle and Raymond Hans of the Neo Realists (1953 Paris) established the recognition of the archeological wealth and political history of a society through the collection of conglomerate posters and advertising from the streets of Paris.

Before television and digital technology, radio, newspapers and posters where the means of informing the public and as the sound waves disappeared into the stratosphere, the posters left a residue juxtaposed in public at the mercy of ‘anonymous ripper’. This is a schizophrenic parade in the history of colour. printing and informing, where formal notices of authority collide with romantic scenes of entertainment.
