The dialogue of the cherry trees

Exhibition of the Flor de Arte project, by the Coanil Foundation, carried out together with the Chilean Japanese Institute. The exhibition is the result of a collaborative process between professional artists and children and young people with intellectual disabilities who make up the Coanil Foundation. The works are made with the kamishibai technique (sheets with illustration and text) and are inspired by Japanese mythology.

Currently there are nearly one hundred artists, between 12 and 50 years old, who participate in this event in four cities in the country.  Through creative exercise, these Coanil Foundation artists enhance and demonstrate their capabilities, improving their quality of life, self-esteem, and appreciation by society.
