THE parliament
OF THE INVISIBLES
On a concept by Anish Kapoor, The Parliament of the Invisibles is a platform to discuss and take action on social issues to reimagine how the voices most often excluded can be brought back to the center of public life.
The sculpture hosts research on art for social impact and new narratives to ignite cultural shifts.
This Parliament is a call: a call for artists to no longer remain silent ; for researchers to step beyond the walls of academia ; for jurists to defend the ethics of the living, for young people to dare imagine desirable futures ; for citizens to organize and influence public decisions ; for each of us to no longer look away.
A refuge for the unseen. An awakening for the unheard.
The Parliament of The Invisibles, Anish Kapoor

The collective ‘‘Artists on the frontline’’
Artists on the FrontLine is a collective of artists dedicated to responding to current events and injustices through bold, rapid-response actions. Mobilizing its network of creatives, the collective designs impactful, high-visibility campaigns that confront oppression, amplify marginalized voices, and spark public engagement.
Punctually, Art for Action mobilizes the artistic network to lead advocacy campaigns as a response to social emergencies, conflicts, and wars.
These campaigns shine a light on specific issues, spark conversations, inspire, and initiate on the ground actions.
Education for peace
Through education, we equip future generations with the tools for peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and comprehension of each other.
Our approach involves developing cultural programs in collaboration with artists such as Rero, Rachid Benzine and the Inside Out Project, that initiate reflective work, debates, and training through participatory creative acts within schools and educational programs. The theater performances, concerts, and exhibitions enable students at all levels of schooling to create and engage with educators on topics that threaten social cohesion and peace.
