"We met, we exchanged, we linked together inspite of our so different backgrounds; all this has been an awesome experience of solidarity and shared creativity.
Through art, we have the opportunity to discover and enrich each other, far beyond the practice. I am delighted and I hope that our art work bear witness to this."
Dominique Richard, plastic artist, Strasbourg, France.
WORKSHOPS AND INTEGR'ART RESIDENCIES
Since 2017 we travel to different European Cities, opening creative and intercultural spaces for new comers (migrants, asylum seekers and refugees) and local individuals to meet, speak, think, create upon their expriences and understanding of social inclusion and other related topics through art.
This traveling project demonstrates a process transforming artistic research and personal creativity into a key means for developing intercultural, intergenerational dialogue, cooperation towards the creation of new inclusive realities in Europe.
Hundreds of individuals from 12-65 years
from 18 countries, speaking 17 different languages
participated in residencies and workshops organized by INANA so far,
in collaboration with more than 15 partners across Europe.

Through this, we aim to convey the messages that the participants collectivelly shaped through their art to the large community.
We organize activities around the exhibition and participate to conferences to sensitize a wide and diverse audience, sharing our methodology and opening debate around topics related to the challenges of social inclusion in Europe such as : discrimination, unbalanced power relationships, inequalities in access to rigths...We tackle a diverse and mixed public : schools, universities, social & cultural centers, entrepreneurs...

networking & fund raising
We organize punctual projects to strengthen support mechanisms and networks between individuals from different parts of the world. Building community, connecting to our creativity and participating in solidarity movements are strong resilience factors and can help us connect with our resources and support systems.
We understand social support and solidarity as a dynamic and interconnected movement in which supporting others responds beforehand and simultaneously to a personal need. In this logic, we aim to generate creative ways of solidarity taking into account personal needs, interests, conditions - and to transform them into an opportunity for individual growth as well.
