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…
