Salutearte

The Salutearte group, now recognized as an official group by resolution of DG 286 of 17/04/2018, is an open group of curators interested in a research and planning on the theme: Culture, Art, Theater, Participation, Well-being and Health. Their mission is to bring art and beauty into the hospitals, and convert it into a place of care, as an element of cultural innovation; to activate artistic processes that are shared and attended by the curates, their carers and by the hospital community; to generate health and well-being especially within participatory artistic projects and processes; to bring the theme of care back to the center of politics, especially in this time in which everyone is increasingly exposed to the fragility of pain, suffering and illness; to create networks and meeting rituals for individuals and build a renewed sense of belonging through a common mission.
They develop a series of projects as: Cutting and sewing; Humanization of health centres; Hand Hygiene week. Art education; Piano inauguration of the AO Mauritian Order; Let’s hug each other: Put a Christmas in the hospital; Humanization of spaces and relationships with anesthetists and nurses; The First Lay Rite to honor the deceased of the first Covid wave.
