Community Project
Redes/Nets – Escuela Primaria Melchor Ocampo de Zapotalito, pescadores del Venado
The goal of this project was to create a playground within the green areas of the school. A big net was installed as a central piece between the trees that imitates the weave of the local fishing nets as an area of rest and play for the children. A table and benches were added so that students could take their lunch as well as some swings, a treehouse and a large bench made out of a tree trunk. All of the elements of the playground were made by local carpenters and fishermen.
Voces escondidas: el libro del futuro – “Telesecundaria San Isidro Llano Grande”
Paulina Almeida, in collaboration with children from the Highschool of the Community of San Isidro Llano Grande, Tututepec, Juquila, Oaxaca, worked together in the manufacture of a fanzine entitled The book of the future based on cuttings drawings and materials found and proposed by the participants, whose theme invites children to imagine what the future will be like and think about the time they live in.
