Walls of Hope School of at and open studio of perquin

The community art projects created in the Perquin Model focus on the challenges posed by inter-communal and societal conflicts in today’s world.

Our mission is to bring greater awareness through shared town meetings and through the planning of collaborative art interventions and public art pieces.

The collaborative art projects recover historic memory while providing artistic skills and practical expertise in a new model of art education.

The mandate of our school is to create bridges of collaboration with local and political agencies that will welcome art as a contribution of social planning, to develop leadership roles among the participants, especially the youth who will face the challenge to grow up in a collapsed economic scenario threatened by poverty and unemployment.

Through art and creative praxis, children and youth focus on conflict resolution envisioning a proposition for endurable peace.
