Théophile Roussel Hospital Center

After the first edition of the Street Art Festival, in 2022, for the second edition of the festival, Théophile Roussel Hospital prepared a week of activities that was focused on Popular Culture and Urban Arts. The Pop'Hop Festival took place from June 13th to 17th, 2022. Workshops to create murals in the park with spray paint for patients and caregivers, led by the graffiti artists Horor, Auch and Ju from the Art Osons collective, "live painting" by artists, an exhibition on urban arts and a show. These actions allowed the public to discover this contemporary artistic trend while creating works that animate the park of the healthcare establishment. The realization of this festival favors the entrance of art in the hospital,by allowing the patients and the personnel to benefit from innovative actions.

Puppets Project got born from the wish of bringing creative work within a psychiatric service for children and teenagers by the Compagnie Pipa Sol, an organisation which is bringing the art of puppets closer to the general public for many years. The puppets are seen in this project as a great pedagogical tool that can facilitate the expression of the children and it is a great mediator between reality and imaginary. The project was opened for 6 hospitalized children from the Théophile Roussel Hospital Center and 3 groups of 8 teenagers. They have discovered different types of puppets and techniques, how to manipulate the puppets, they co-created scenarios, draw the characters, built puppets, perform and present their artistic moment in front of the public.
