The Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas proudly presents 'Mi Mundo' for the third consecutive year, as part of its Social Responsibility Program and in collaboration with Cruz Roja. This exhibition is the result of the 'Enganchados al Arte' project, which uses the creative process as a therapeutic tool for individuals struggling with drug addiction. The displayed works, including objects, installations, photographs, and audiovisual material, are born from the reflection and creation of users from Cruz Roja's Casa de Campo center and volunteer artists who have collaborated with them.
'Mi Mundo' aims to give a voice to the participants, allowing them to visually represent their inner selves, significant life events, memories, objects, desires, and dreams. This projection of their internal world serves as a therapeutic approach, fostering self-knowledge and change. The artworks are characterized by their intimacy, authenticity, depth, and beauty, offering a spontaneous, free, and sincere expression of their existential situations.
