An initiative to transform the #MangaLibre community park through collaborative design, self-construction, and artistic experimentation. Over several community work sessions, workshops were held with children and neighborhood residents on gardening, mural painting, play, urban botany, and motor skills circuits, promoting play as an interactive art form and the community work session as a celebration of community labor.
For La Manga Libre, we designed two playful and educational systems, and carried out botanical expeditions, composting, construction of play structures, artistic activations, and collaborative art sessions. This project activated the public space through alternative pedagogy, art, and collective care, fostering community, neighborhood organization, and the recognition of nature as an essential part of urban life.
