MAKING A HOME

A year ago, together with the boys and girls who reside at the Móstoles Children’s Home, we dreamed of making a home inside our own tree house. We imagined what its shape would be like, what we would do inside it and what would happen around it.

Some time later, in a conversation with the teachers at the Pablo Neruda Vocational College, we saw the importance of learning through action, and we assessed the need to turn educational spaces into places where real-life projects could be put into practice. We then thought it would be exciting to involve the Carpentry Department at the UFIL college in the construction of the house imagined by that group of children.

We at the CA2M Museum like to think that we can all take part in the construction of the world around us, so in October we will begin a process of collaboration with both groups to conceive, design and make this powerful image possible.
