Ferrol
changing the city through protagonist participation
What’s on the other side of the WALL?
“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
The Arsenal Wall is understood as a great barrier, a border separating two cities. This issue is presented to the children through a game: What do you think is on the other side of the wall?
After analysing the drawings and a series of crazy ideas about what lies behind the wall, we are shown a reality that all the inhabitants of Ferrol live with: their ignorance of a large part of their city.
Colour your city
The village or city in which we are working, transformed into a game board, a laboratory of experimentation where children and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
