Arte contemporáneo y participación

So We could say that social relationships in hospital are very restrictive. They are always around illness. This article try to describe two different experiences taken place in Children Oncological room and Dialysis treatment room in Hospital Gregorio Marañon in Madrid. In both places we have projected Contemporary Art images on the walls. So with this action, we have tried to bring up participation and new dialogues in order to make possible other dialogues, and avoid illness item for a while to make people participate and socialize.The same action, projecting images, turns not only a temporary positive distraction but and education and relational chance.Both experiences have been a precedent for a bigger and more ambitious project which is to create a place where patients, companions and sanitary staff could share conversation, participate and socialize in order to disconnect from hospital and illness around cultural event. This is taken place at Patient Library in Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid
