Introduction
Since 2018, PAV Parco Arte Vivente, an experimental centre for contemporary art in Turin, has been a permanent contributor to the cultural programme of CasaOz, a major social institution in the city. CasaOz is a true home for children and young people living with illness, disability, and vulnerability, and their families. The working methodology adopted by PAV in this context – rich in psychophysical and cultural opportunities – nurtures creativity, emotional connection, and cognition through art and its many languages. In this text, curator and art educator Orietta Brombin reflects on the collaboration between PAV and CasaOz.

Context
This text is one of the pilot studies of Re-Imagine Europe: New Perspectives for Action. In these contributions we explore and reflect on artistic practices and experimental approaches in the cultural field that can engage and activate audiences and communities to address ecological, social, and political challenges. The pilot studies provide an overview of practices of cultural organisations that can serve as models, recipes, or tools for transformation for current and future generations of cultural workers and artists.
