A new youth space in Arzachena , inaugurated last Saturday in the town's historic center, bears the name of Louise Bourgeois, the celebrated French-American painter, sculptor, writer, and poet, known for her insightful explorations of childhood trauma, sexuality, and family relationships through introspective works. The space, managed by the La Rosa di Gerico social cooperative , aims to provide important support to adolescents and young adults aged 11 to 21 through the presence of tutors who have created a stable, intimate, and free hub (open every afternoon, five days a week) for them to discuss everything from their emotions to the most sensitive issues and concerns of their challenging age.

"The activities will be geared toward self-discovery through art, exploring the connection between the unconscious and creativity, with workshops, exhibitions, seminars, and series of meetings on emotional and sexual education," said tutor and social artist Micaela Pisciottu, who, together with Andrea Ganau and Gianluca Fois, manages the initiative as part of the activities of the "Come me nessuno mai" (Like me, nobody ever) Adolescent Space. The patron of the "Spazio Bourgeois, visual and shared arts" is archaeologist Angela Antona, who will be committed, as part of the collaboration, to transmitting and inspiring in young people "a love for this territory, helping them build a sense of belonging, a sense of belonging to this town and its territory."

Alessandro Careddu, Councillor for Social Services, was present at the inauguration: "Spazio Bourgeois was created with the aim of offering teenagers in Arzachena a place where artistic language becomes a tool for self-exploration, at a delicate age like that between 11 and 17, when emotions are often difficult to communicate and relationships with adults can become fraught with obstacles."
