changing the village
working with the line
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, you work with the space, being the body that travels and plays in the spaces with all the senses deployed, through the experimentation of light, texture, colour, sound… transforming public spaces into common ones.
“The geometric line is an invisible entity. It is the trace that the point leaves when it moves and is therefore its product. It arises from the movement when the total rest of the point is destroyed. We made a leap from static to dynamic. […] Such is the straight line, which in its tension constitutes the simplest form of the infinite possibility of movement.”
Kandinsky
Color the village
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.
