Art in Damanhur...why?

Because with art, the right hemisphere of our brain celebrates;
Because art frees us from words and speaks directly to the heart;
Because while your mind thinks that you can’t do something, your hands will show you that you can;
Because without fantasy, there is no life;
Because while you paint on the outside, you are also painting on the inside;
Because while sculpting a sculpture, you are also sculpting new thoughts;
Because the energy changes and everything becomes coloured;
Because when you are creating, you are discovering yourself;
Because the space that you create allows you to breathe;
Because it unites;
Because with a few strokes, you can create a whole world;
Because with a few words, you can build a poem;
Because it unleashes the imagination;
Because it gets you out of the box;
Because it tells new stories;
Because it is close to the gods;
Because it excites;
Because it is full of why;
