Anne Grussner-Weiss,
Consultant, creative Facilitator and artist
My passion’s source comes from helping discover the wonderful power of art for individuals and groups.
Bio
Being familiar with both artistic and economic worlds, I wanted to make them meet in cooperation. My conviction that these two worlds could greatly benefit from each other, was lacking something. After reuniting with a personal artistic experience, I then could fully understand the power of it.
Art is a universal language. Artistic expression reflects the unique caracter (bakarra, in basque language) of each person. It’s a wonderful resource to
- revive the pleasure of creating and inventing, alone or in a group
- finding meaning
- generate original solutions in a complex world
- speed up cohesion and inclusion in a group
I launched BAKARRA – Art is a Change Maker to facilitate these features and reach various audiences.
Professional path
After a career in HR and Communications in a large french company, I have been developing services in France and Switzerland for SMEs, start-ups and cultural projects in helping define their activities, for several years. Since 2016, I completed my background with different courses, certifications as well as art practices.
I regularly collaborate with an artists incubator based in Basque Country where my family roots lie. I was also recently commissioned to facilitate creative workshops dedicated to precarious public as well as creative workshops for high school classes in Basel in english and french about «If I were a Heroe».
