Vilagarcía
“A VILA DE ONTE” photography exposition
knowing Vilagarcia’s past
Photographs of Vilagarcia urban scenes were exhibited. The photos were placed exactly where they were taken in the past. In this way we point out how the space has changed, how to use it and how to occupy it.
Photographs of old Vilagarcía show the city through the streets, with pedestrians, cyclists, walkers…and also arouse nostalgia. We forget that part of the beauty of these images lies in the lack of vehicles…the image seems more human, less congested…the environment changes.
This is what we want to convey with this activity: how the mere fact of using the streets for people completely changes that place atmosphere.
The photographs were given by Faido da Memoria.
Color your city
The city/town we are working in has become a playground, an experimental laboratory in which children and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
