BIG HUG TRANSFORMATION is an exhibition in tribute to caregivers and therapists of different medicines. Often, thanks to their dedication, their knowledge and their actions, they relieve our suffering and heal us. This healing process is an opportunity to live an extraordinary human adventure; the experience marks us for life and transforms us forever.
Artists are invited to share their intimate vision of this process of transformation, which affects us all, in different forms, at some point in our lives. The universality of the theme gives rise to an exhibition as eclectic as it is rich in its diversity of expressions.
What connects us is the strength and vital energy that these everyday heroes give us. The exhibition is an ode to life despite its vagaries — a joyful world of materials, shapes and colors to question and delight us. Here, art is invited to celebrate healers and to cure our ailments, without prescription.
During the exhibition, patrons, collectors and artists had the opportunity to donate a work to the AP-HP or the health institution of their choice.
