changing the village through protagonist participation
What is your village like? Which elements would you highlight?
“A good urban acupuncture would be one that enables everyone to know their city. How many people, in reality, truly know their own city? It’s hard to respect what you don’t know. But how can you respect your city if you don’t understand it? Draw your city. […] But how can you improve your city if you don’t even know it well? What do you do for it, if you’re not even able to draw it? That’s the crux of the matter.”
Jaime Lerner
Work begins with PERCEPTION. How do the future inhabitants of the place perceive their village or city? To explore this, participants are invited to use simple drawings to show us which elements they consider fundamental or particularly interesting in their village or city. In this way, we can understand their individual views of the place they live in and begin to build a collective vision shared by all participants.
Colour your village
The village or city in which we are working, transformed into a game board, a laboratory of experimentation where children and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
