Transforming the Village Through Protagonist Participation

Tactical Urbanism for Traffic Calming

 

“streets   /   Girls and boys, in their mute solitudes   /   they cross the streets of bitter cities   /   Vertiginous rhythms modulate his walk   /   There are no rest stops, there is no time   /   There is no time to recover, and look and feel   /   to observe, to learn   /   to want Inhospitable urban spaces, of senseless wars   /   forgotten values and excessive ambitions   /   they mislead their people   /   And between broken memories, foul-smelling containers   /   traffic lights, cars, vomit and urine   /   children’s tears also wet the streets”

Adriana Bisquert

It is a simple and powerful formula of URBAN TRANSFORMATION, followed by VILAS and CITIES in the whole world, which allows to change spaces through actions with ephemeral and economic elements.

In this way, it is possible to TRANSFORM mere SPACES of transit or parking into ZONES of LIFE and social interaction, creating meeting places for the community and above all designed by and for children and adolescents, where they are the protagonists.

Changing the village through protagonist participation

protagonist participation and tactical urbanism

The right of children and adolescents to PARTICIPATE in the CONSTRUCTION of their TOWN or CITY as part of an ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP, in such a way that they are participants and executors of the changes in their surroundings.

For this protagonist to exist, CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS must reflect on their surroundings (the space in which they develop their lives), their context and propose solutions for change become aware of what it means to be a legal entitlement and the importance that their participation can have as a driving force for change in the rest of society.

CHANGING THE VILLAGE THROUGH PROTAGONIST PARTICIPATION

Protagonist participation with the work of Ánxeles Penas

The figures of children and teenagers themselves (their silhouettes, bodies, and gestures) become the visual protagonists of the urban space. The aim is not to represent them, but to allow them to inscribe themselves into the landscape with their scale, their language, and their living presence. Their image occupies façades, walls, and partitions, intervening in the urban environment with their collective identity and symbolic power

And I tell you:

If I had the path to reach Prometeo

the shadow that gives nightmares to you little girls would basoiraria,

the night woven with the threads of fear

that at some time you have been argalas

-I don’t know when-,

gods of darkness,

shadow of the astonished mothers who stop if they know

 

Well, it’s time to take out the reapers of life

so that golden wheat is born,

corn that sparkles in the sun, burning vintage

 

Well, it’s time to empty the Moorish well,

to remove the mourning from the waters

It’s already time for the fight with the langran Leviathan

that fills the earth making it an anthill of terrors

 

It’s about time

 

And I ask poetry for meaning,

but poetry is like the beggar lying on the sidewalk:

a demand in desolation,

a hand reaching out into the cold afternoon

and that it remains, full of space, in the gray sunset

 

She is this white silence of the paper

with all the questions,

this clarity waiting,

this snowfall rests

that one wanted to sow creative words, verses lit like suns in season

 

to give birth, you don’t know which fields of meaning,

what rows of thoughts that sing of innocence

 

Thus, I thresh the letters like corn

in the joy of the riddles I found when I was born

And I shuffle the alphabets as one does with luck,

because the meaning is beyond the words

and the tired gesture of the scribes,

apart from my trade of rummaging

ReCOGNIZING

“A good urban acupuncture would be one that enables everyone to know their city. How many people, in reality, truly know their own city? It’s hard to respect what you don’t know. But how can you respect your city if you don’t understand it? Draw your city. […] But how can you improve your city if you don’t even know it well? What do you do for it, if you’re not even able to draw it? That’s the crux of the matter.”

Jaime Lerner

To understand how the inhabitants, both current and future, perceive their town, we will use the following strategy: we set off ‘adrift’ with a large golden frame, so that during our wandering, we frame those urban elements that are important to them (an experience based on the work of O’Grady). Who have been the protagonists of this ‘A Vila do Mañá’ experience? On this occasion, during their wandering, they have reDISCOVERED places in their town, perhaps forgotten ones.

With ‘A Vila do Mañá’, the village in which they live is not an abstract idea, nor a series of small partial images; it begins to be understood as a much more complex and expansive environment, bringing us closer to the notion of habitat: the space that transcends its physical location in a territory where we fulfil our needs, establishing relationships with others and with the environment, both natural and built; involving processes in which it transforms, but in which we are also transformed.
