Dear friends, the english version of the website will be available soon. Until then, few words about And Then We Talked:
We design the dialogue, through arts and creativity.
WHY?
Loneliness & Social Exclusion:
Cost 1 Trillion $ per year globally on health care systems, education and work and both are risk factors for mental health issues (source: World Health Organization)
Communication plays a major role in either feeling good when having quality interactions or becoming ever more excluded when having a bad experience with violent communication or lack of it.
With polarization of public speech being on the rise, people live under the fear of being judged, misunderstood or attacked and talk less, losing their ties to their communities and benefits of sharing and developing their social and communication skills.
HOW?
ΙN SITU ACTIVITIES: We design and implement in-situ thematic activities, inspired by contemporary & mental health issues. Movies, paintings, books, music, become a reason to create and discuss.
A THINK TANK, bottom up: Documenting, collecting and presenting the findings of each activity suggesting a new creative take on specific hot topics. These findings become publications, exhibitions and performances.
