What is your village like? Which elements would you highlight?

“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

Work begins with PERCEPTION. How do the future inhabitants of the place perceive their village or city? To explore this, participants are invited to use simple drawings to show us which elements they consider fundamental or particularly interesting in their village or city. In this way, we can understand their individual views of the place they live in and begin to build a collective vision shared by all participants.

Changing the village through protagonist participation

PROTAGONIST PARTICIPATION

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.

“Those who have designed, administered and governed them have done so without completing those other dimensions (making one-dimensional cities based on production) and that the definitions of the RAE ignore, and the principle of action has prevailed over their understanding of reality. These cities conceive public space as the space that allows us to get to work from home, without asking if for some the street is synonymous with relationship and encounter and for others it entails exposure and risk”

CHANGING THE VILLAGE THROUGH PROTAGONIST PARTICIPATION

Protagonist participation with the work of Lupe Gómez

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.

Letter to the playwright Francisco Pillado.

Colored pencils neighborhood:

Dear flashlight to see well at night:

Do you know who will win the election by absolute majority?

A girl I was playing with on Saturday afternoon is going to win. He is five or six years old. I gave her a painting by Fidel Vidal, and she was very happy. She showed me a drawing of a butterfly, made by herself. I told her, “I like butterflies a lot,” and she laughed. The girl is amused by adult things, because she has small, direct eyes. The subversive look of the clouds. The photographs of the dead when they go to vote. The girl plays with a broom, as if she were a witch, as if she were a very human politician and very close to the people. I have decided my vote. I’m going to vote for that girl, because her gestures really convince me and make me feel excited. I imagine that little girl sitting on the stairs of the photographer Xurxo Lobato and answering the predictable questions of the journalists. The girl plays, and is not fooled by the rhetoric and empty talk of the world. The girl laughs because she is a spy of the hidden feelings of the people, of the citizens. The “politician girl” reads that beautiful book by the Laiovento publishing house, in which the writer Julio López Válcarcel talks about Miguel González Garcés, the miner of light and brilliant forests. Cell phone companies decide when we have to talk. If the promotion is for us to speak – for free – on weekends, we will have to speak on Sundays even if we are not talkative, even if we have nothing to say. The girl plays. The little girl works. The captive does not speak. I am re-reading many books worn by the passage of time, and I feel renewed. I love political theater that runs away when there’s a party in the clouds.

Lupe Gómez.

“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”

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

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.

Navy Bar

Este bar ten balances
E tamén está listo
pra se facer á vela

Encheron-noS O vaso
con toda a auga d’o Mar
pra compor un cocktail de horizontes

Pendurados d’as horas
atlas xeográficos d’esperantos
están sin tradución
E tatexan as pipas
c’o ademán políglota d’as bandeiras

Es cantar improvisado
é o mesmo
que xa se improvisou n-algures

Quen chegou avisándo-nos
d’esa cita noiturna que temos
c’o vento ao NE
n-a encrucillada d’as estrelas apagadas?

Eiquí bebe de incónito
o Mariñeiro Desconecido
—sin xeografía in literatura—
A noite d’os nautraxos
c’o seu brazo salvavidas
aferrará con nosco unha vela de chubascos

O vaso derradeiro
estaba cheo de despedidas

Pol-as ruas dispersas
ibamo-nos fechando
cada un dentro d’a sua alta-mar

N-o repouso d’algún vaso
todal-as noites naufraga o Bar.
