[Street art in hospitals: an aesthetic and emotional experience]

Beyond any initial surprise, the involvement of street artists in healthcare facilities, on commission, is helping to transform these places, particularly those dedicated to caring for children. By breaking with the classic aesthetic expected of a hospital room, medical waiting room, etc., street art, in its various forms and universes, provides valuable sensory and emotional experiences in this very special context. Without replacing medical care (which is not its purpose), this artistic expression helps to create a warmer, more positive atmosphere, that benefits young patients, their families, and caregivers alike.
