Music Banner:Speaking of partying, we want to define all those events, more or less frequent, in which the citizens occupy the public space as a place of leisure. Despite the level of organisation, the presence of more or less cultural content, the consumption of food and drink, these events have a fundamental common denominator in their possibility of being catalysts of relations between citizens and promoters of a sense of community through the playful and festive aspect.
A spontaneous group of rappers and break-dancers has collaborated in the generation of a portable device that allows the reproduction of sound in the street and the storage of drinks.
Tankcocina: Self-managed plots are new frontiers of opportunity in consolidated urban centres. In a phase of real estate hibernation such as the one we are experiencing, these areas of neglect become unexpected infrastructures for the development of temporary activities.
Until the recent past, the practices developed in these territories were linked to occupation practices. But at present there is a current in which there are processes of temporary assignment of public land to associations and social movements.
In this case, the agents of the Barley Field have asked for mobile equipment that allows the preparation of food on and off the site. According to your specifications, a transportable kitchen has been developed.
Infopoint: The meeting of neighbours in the public space is one of the most important activities in urban societies, and one of the currently most obstructed. in recent months, in Madrid we have experienced a new season of neighbourhood assemblies, of debates between citizens who have taken over the public spaces of the city generating new communities and new relationships in the neighbourhoods.
Stop Evictions Commission 15M Latina has asked us to provide two elements that will favor their activity of opposition to the eviction of families in economic difficulty. The theme has been developed generating an info-point as well as a portable kitchen that favors the practice of street occupation.
Tiendatank: The informal street commerce in the city, usually hindered and often repressed by the public authorities, can in many cases constitute a valuable example for market models of a more sustainable scale and more horizontal citizen interaction.
We are interested in enhancing and promoting other forms of exchange of products or services such as barter, second-hand sales or handicraft production, in this case a device was made to support these activities being the destination of La Tabacalera. Although temporarily a collaboration was carried out with the Surplus Losses project. This device supported the delivery of food recovered from the garbage.
Gradacorner: The socializing power of sport is strengthened above all when it leaves the official sports centres, and squares and streets become courts for a playful activity capable of establishing ties, generating appropriation of spaces and a sense of belonging among citizens.
We are interested in promoting the possibility for citizens of different ages to recover the city as a territory of play and sport, without these activities having to be isolated from the rest of urban society by locking themselves inside specialised facilities.
Following the installation and commissioning of the sports equipment in the space, the residents managing the Barley Field have asked the participants in the workshop for some elements to complete the installation allowing them to attend the sports events that will take place on the site.
