We have received a message for our project from Esther Vossen, who was in Japan until recently to give a lecture and a workshop in our program. As a director of the Fifth Season, she runs an artist-in-residency at a psychiatric institution in the Netherlands. 

 

The dear Me workshops of the AIT are very encouraging for children who have had fewer opportunities in their lives than most of us do. By means of art they can express themselves and share their thoughts and feelings. dear Me provides a safe space for kids to express themselves, as art in itself is open and doesn’t judge.
