Imagine unimaginable possibilities

WE RESTART is a charity empowering communities, tackling global injustice and improving well-being through paintings, photography, theatre, film, literature and other art forms.

We produce public art and cultural projects to create awareness on diversity, inclusion and climate change. We organise workshops bringing disadvantaged young people closer to theatres and museums. We support refugee artists from war zone areas or natural disasters by providing for their needs.

We advocate the role of women as active forces to restart. We believe that art is a powerful tool for societies to heal and recover, and everyone should have access to it.
