At the time HansFon was founded we said it would be -nurturing the Arts. And accordingly all our stationery was printed and we kept telling all and sundry about that. But psychology has been a very central theme of all our work and as time went by we felt that the manner in which we are approaching the whole thing, it would not be sufficient to say we are merely nurturing the arts. What is different between HansFon and any other arts' organization?
That is where the idea took root and we started looking at psyche as the canvas on which we would be plotting all our effort. So slowly it changed and from the Arts, we brought psyche as the focus area of our work. So now we are saying that we are nurturing the Self through art. Self is a concept of the psyche or mann of the human. For us, as we saw it always and articulate more clearly now- the central theme is not art but the human. We are there in service of the human and art is just one of the human expressions. By training people in the arts or making them understand how to look at life by knowing their own artistic selves...we wish to contribute to people understanding themselves a bit better.
This was a much needed shift and it calls for a sigh of relief!
