CHANGING THE VILLAGE THROUGH PROTAGONIST PARTICIPATION

Protagonist participation with the work of Manuel Antonio

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

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.

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.

O rapás a pirmeira esmola

(…) camiño adiante, xa á vista do pobo de As Neves, un rapás que levaba unha cabra atada púxoseme a facer preguntas:

-E logo, canda a pedire?

-Si, ando a pedire.

-Mais leva un folico pequeno.

CHANGING THE VILLAGE THROUGH PROTAGONIST PARTICIPATION

Working with Galician Literature, Rosalía de Castro

In a place lacking strong identity references (where the main element of collective memory was a disused nightclub), the project begins with a latent infrastructure: the town’s street map, whose names pay tribute to authors of Galician literature. Based on this cultural cartography, A Vila do Mañá turns words into infrastructure and literature into a tool for urban activation.

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.

We understand the village as a playground, as a meeting place and as a learning laboratory for children and adolescents, through the tools of childhood such as their own movement and play. They must discover, live, know and value their habitat in order to be able to act as active citizens, thus promoting protagonist participation from childhood onwards.

THE importance of place

We want children and teenagers to learn to look at the place where they live, having with them two powerful tools: ART and ARCHITECTURE. They are two elements that help us to understand the world and, most importantly, to transform it.
