"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."

▶ 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.

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.

WORKSHOPS AND EXHIBITIONS : BODY MAPS 2008 - 2017
Local Cultural Contract, town of Graulhet, Tarn, France
Riding on the success of the Cartes du Corps Project, supported by the Local Cultural Contract for Urban and Social Cohesion in Graulhet (Department of Tarn, France) from 2009 through 2014, the Association 1 2 3 Les Timides builds on this dynamic to offer inhabitants of Graulhet (in particular those in the problem areas) expression workshops facilitating social interaction through the use of techniques of mediation aimed at personal creativity and expression: art therapy.
From 2009 onward in Graulhet, thanks to targeted interventions based on transversality and multi-partnerships, Body Mapping aims at facilitating a better social integration and a greater visibility of individuals in their environment thanks to a series of workshops open and offered to all. Certain factors influencing deviance and violence-related problems are traumatic re-enactments of family or identity circumstances, and we must envision fundamental and ongoing palliative work to deal with the societal problems confronting us.
A dynamic therapy and a proposal for mediation are the main objectives in this project, the purpose here being to allow opportunities for meeting and sharing : a group setting in which to create individual works that are part of a whole: the Cartes du Corps or Body Maps.
The Batik technique can be implemented, allowing participants to discover a new technique of textile printing based on color and transparencies, while pursuing a personal and global reflection on themes relating to identity. These workshops, offered as training sessions will allow the live collecting of testimonials from the participants. This website will provide an interactive Forum during the courses for information, self-expression, extending invitations, and sharing…
