Salutearte Mauriziano Group

Abbracci AMO ci project was born to build opportunities for meeting between the cured and the carers, where they can work together to the humanization of places and care relationships. Some of the activities include making the hospital a more familiar place, facilitating opportunities for meeting between them; to foster a profound sense of belonging among all the employees; to open the hospital to the local community; to develop artistic skills among all employees of the Mauritian community; to organize artistic exhibition; live music events; theatrical performance with former aphasic patients.

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.
