Abstract
Art which produces development and social change is a ‘system error’. When one can hardly say what is what, and when something is one thing but also ‘something else’, it is probably there that we can find the most fruitful relationship between art and development and the most relevant impact. It is never a cause-effect relationship: art triggers the exceptional and makes people say ‘ça réveille’, it wakes us up.
