It’s unanimously believed that creative activities improve patients’ physical and psychological wellbeing, involving the sphere of phantasy and emotions and emerging in the dynamic form of a pictorial gesture. That’s why LILT (the Italian Association for the Fight against Cancer) has lately been organizing a series of activities gathered under the name of “ArtLab – Artistic and Therapeutic Laboratory” in order to soothe the deep wound of the soul caused by cancer. Different activities are being proposed, from art to dance, from manual creativity to music-therapy… Painting on canvas and shaping different materials, patients are being involved in a stimulating visual, emotional and sometimes even spiritual path, in order to lighten the dark period of therapies, bringing a smile and re-generating the projectuality that ill people tend to loose.
