Changing the village through protagonist participation
WORKING WITH THE PERCEPTION
The aim of ‘A Vila da Mañá’ is to change the model of town or city, we believe that another one can be possible. This is achieved through the protagonist participation of local children and adolescents who, by working with fundamental concepts through tactical urban planning actions, become active citizens capable of transforming their spaces.
In this case it works with perception, that of the body itself and the environment that surrounds them. Understanding how they perceive their town, we try to provoke in girls, boys, and teenagers a new vision of everyday spaces, seeking to break with the familiar and so that they can see the same places with different eyes.
“But the line hides among its other properties, and ultimately, the deeply hidden desire to procreate a plane, thus becoming a thicker, more closed in its own. […] When the line dies, at what time does the plane arise? […] Basic plan means the material surface called to receive the content of the work. […] The basic schematic plane is limited by two horizontal and two vertical lines, and thus acquires, in relation to the surrounding environment, an independent entity.”
Kandinsky
Color your village
The village or city in which we are working has been turned into a game board, a laboratory of experimentation where girls, boys and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
