Through this initiative, Thanks for Nothing wished to highlight the work of innovative and inspirational actors from the world of art and society such as, artists, collectors, gallerists, directors of institutions; as well as those in the associative world with an artistic commitment. Invited guests shared their ambition to create a dialogue between art and concrete social commitment.
Developed with 5 students from Sciences Po, this event was conceived with an educational objective. This event brought together more than 350 people including 70% of students and young people in training.
During the procession of the conversations, Thanks for Nothing recognized the investment of its guests, which are models of citizen engagement. Contributing their knowledge and service for humanism, each one of them expressed their individual motivation for action.
Beyond the awakening results of the conversations that were provoked, the guests testified on the value and impact of their individual commitment. Such self-awareness and commentary of consciousness is the key to change, promoting the advocation that Thanks for Nothing greatly cherishes.
