Malpica
what would you point out from your village?
framing MALPICA
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.
Framing an item automatically gives it a lot of importance. To understand how the town is perceived and which are the places that are appreciated, the “drift” goes out with a large golden frame, so that in our wanderings we frame those urban elements that are important for girls, boys and teenagers. Through this strategy we can begin to sense their criteria when understanding their habitat.
Color your 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.
