We wish to present an institutional experience as a vector of cultural porosity between art and psychiatry. This intervention is an intervention in our outpatient consultation center south of Paris, with the participation of local artists. Exhibitions are regularly organized in the care center, where caregivers, patients, and people from outside the psychiatric field meet. Beyond the artistic enrichment that the artists bring to the space, clinical, institutional, and social effects can be highlighted:
A porosity between the city and the care center
A porosity between the space dedicated to patients and the universal space of culture
A de-stigmatization of the psychiatric care space An opening to the prospect of change in the face of the chronic nature of certain illnesses
The proposal of artists from different backgrounds and their cultural resonance with the diversity of the public welcomed at the care center
The effects of the artist-led approach in the healthcare setting are not intended to be therapeutic, but the therapeutic benefits seem evident. The institutional effects on teamwork contribute to improving care. Relationships with partners outside of psychiatry, particularly the city hall, introduce a political dimension through culture. We wish to share this experience, which has been ongoing for eight years, with some thirty participating artists, and which is also easily reproducible in other healthcare settings
