Art in progress: participatory urban decoration project

Art as a means of action.


Participatory urban art projects curated by the Menti Libere collective.

After almost ten years of experience in the field, the Association has developed an innovative method through which it carries out participatory urban redevelopment projects.

The entire multidisciplinary path aims to make people interact
and collaborate with young people from all social backgrounds and often socially distant groups of people.
The series of expressive activities aims to increase self-esteem and stimulate group dynamics with the final output of designing and implementing an urban redevelopment project.
The artists and operators of Menti Libere act as guides to make the participants of the projects the true protagonists of these aesthetic and social actions.
