Description

Pensar la plaza is a proposal to intervene a public space through the arts, that is developed within the framework of a research project that deals with the usefulness of participatory artistic practices as a tool for transformation, for the improvement of the quality of life. We have developed a category matrix to monitor these practices. From its analysis, we have established the need to consider processes of appropriation and recognition, to involve affection, by working together with reason and emotion, to carry them out. We propose a process that can be developed in these steps: questioning, feeling, imagining-thinking from other perspectives, debating, projecting and building together to, at the end, expose, opening, if necessary, new questions, new paths. Its application is tested with this proposal that is presented and developed in a heterogeneous residential area of the city of Seville.
