Working on and with a territory, promoting cohesion and a sense of community has been the goal of hubout from the outset. Starting from the artistic production, from the idea of ​​participatory public art, was instead the winning choice that allowed to graft territorial animation processes capitalizing also the skills of the social workers. The participatory process is central, but the final product is equally important and aesthetically beautiful because it is an artisan and artistic product at the same time. The temporal dimension is important. The process and the product must be in a limited time and not dilated. Art creates because it frees the creative resources of a territory from the constraint of the norm, of the routine, in the name of the work of genius, of the unique work that does not commit except for the time of its realization. For this reason it cannot be repeated continuously. Forms of maintenance must be found as well as other forms of activation and territorial animation. To give life to unedited connections or to re-establish bonds means to provoke. Public art must provoke confrontation and discussion by promoting the critical sense, driving the sense of initiative that drives people to meet. Listening to the needs of a territory lies at the basis of every community action. With Hubout we wanted to interpret the need as the expression of a desire. We understood and discovered that there was and still is a desire for beauty, care, meeting knowledge and sociability.
