“We are our stories imprinted on our bodies… Sometimes what we have lived gives us wings, sometimes it is a weight that weighs us down. Finding a way to tell our story by creating metaphors is an important tool to rebuild ourselves, to heal.”

The metaphor
as a possibility
of resilience

The Intimate Models Lab is a space for ‘revisiting’ difficult events in our experience with a playful, panoramic and resilient eye, using aesthetic and representational tools.

Creating an expressive experience from an event that is painfully stagnant within us allows us to empower ourselves and to grow up

In more than 30 laboratories, artists, therapists, victims of attacks and wars, students, educators and activists from more than 20 countries have participated in the Intimate Model Laboratories in Latin America, North America and Europe. The themes are diverse: migration, memory, violence, gender, post-pandemic, creation of community spaces, environmental issues, among others.
