Shared Fragments is a participatory workshop and urban gathering that brings together locals, refugees, and migrants in a collective creative process within a group of 10–15 participants, aged 10+. Each participant begins their own artwork, which then circulates within the group and is completed by others through symbols, memories, and personal perspectives. Through guided conversations and accessible creative exercises, participants explore life experiences and discover shared points of connection. No artistic background is required. At the end, each participant randomly receives one of the collective artworks created together.
The activity takes place within the Timișoara Refugee Art Festival 10, funded by the Municipality of Timișoara through the Project Center and implemented by LOGS – Social Initiatives Group, in partnership with Atelierul cu Pisici.
