STORYTELLING PRESENTATION. SOUTHERN CITY. BROWN COAST
Picture: Blanca Sotos.
On 1 October we will present the publication Ciudad Sur. Costa Marrón. Un recorrido del ladrillo al gresite en la construcción del tiempo libre [Southern City. Brown Coast: A Journey from Brick to Stoneware in Leisure Construction] at the CA2M Museum, the outcome of the programme by the same name which was held with the artist Irene de Andrés and La Liminal collective over the course of eight sessions between October 2023 and May 2024.
This space of shared experimentation has proposed an approach to Móstoles as post-tourist guides to travel through a series of architectures made up of layers of time, experiences and lived moments around what we call leisure, based on topics like tourism, the idea of the hero, public space, the centre-periphery binomial, neighbourhood struggles, speculation, displacements, gentrification and urban planning programmes (PAUs).
Like an archive, the reporting by Blanca Sotos contains the multiple voices of those who participated in its third edition. The compilation of different materials—texts, poems, stories, transcribed conversations, key terms and concepts and maps of the walks—aims to reflect the sessions in which the participants visited swimming pools and sports centres, shopping centres and (anti-)shopping centres, cultural spaces, public parks and the town’s famous bullring.
This space will also serve to kick off this year’s edition, which begins in late October.
STORYTELLING PRESENTATION. SOUTHERN CITY
SOUTHERN CITY. BROWN COAST.
Ciudad Sur (‘Southern City’) is a space for shared experimentation in which we will approach Móstoles as post-tourist guides to tour a series of architectures made up of layers of time, experiences and experiences around what we call free time. The dormitory town will become a holiday town.
CIUDAD SUR. GREEN SPECTRUMS: FROM THYME GREEN TO RADIOACTIVE GREEN
Ciudad Sur is a space for shared experimentation in which, taking Móstoles as a starting point, we want to investigate the many faces and the many riches that generate a sense of belonging in the cities of the metropolitan area of Madrid.
