PONTEVEDRA
Changing the village through protagonist participation
Working with the scale
A few years ago, in a context where measuring distances between bodies became urgent, in A Vila do Mañá we took the floaters out to the street.
They helped us make visible the invisible space, the one we occupy when we notice, the one that separates or unites us.
Today we recover the floaters, but from a different perspective: not as a defense, but as a tool for perception, not to mark distances, but to measure presence, scale, and the right to public space.
How much space does a body in motion occupy?
How much space does a person need to walk, stop, play, or talk without having to step aside?
In Pontevedra, a city that has been standing by people’s side for years, we went out to check.
We want to make visible what is already working, and also what can still improve.
The floaters, with their playful shape and enveloping volume, help us to feel the space with our bodies, to experience the city from a human scale, and to ask ourselves collectively:
Is my city designed for me?
Color your city
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.
