The general objective of the project is to be able to generate a work space where artists and artisans can earn a living while promoting expression through art, whether through workshops, shows, exhibitions, craft booths, mimes, dance, painting, poetry ...

The boulevard would have 14 permanent booths which would be rented by the Board (monthly, weekly, fortnightly...) for different events (handicrafts, books, gastronomy of other towns and countries, flowers...).

The booths could have energy in a sustainable way, in addition these booths could take advertising of the shops of the neighborhood to save expenses as much as possible.

The project contemplates a Mural of Expression where, monthly, graffiti painters or whoever wants to express themselves. Each month would be bleached with the complicity of the neighborhood. These samples of street art could be the object of some report by workshops so that this ephemeral art could be captured in an annual exhibition.

It also contemplates a stage for neighborhood groups (charangas, orchestras, monologues, magicians, puppets, dance, theater ...), so as to create a meeting space between artists, artisans and neighborhood.

COMMENTS:

We present this project with the illusion of being able to carry out together with the neighbourhood collectives, a space where art overflows in every corner of the boulevard and thus recover a space that has been damaged in recent years.

Not only would it give work to artisans, but it would also dynamise the area and rescue it from the state of deterioration in which it finds itself.

The support of the Town Planning and Employment Committee is requested because it touches areas of them.

Continue to change the lighting of the city, not only the low streetlights that have been changed recently, but also the higher streetlights, all the lighting of tunnels and roads and the lighting of public buildings, thus promoting greater savings that impact on energy expenditure (this money can be used for other initiatives) and simultaneously promoting a reduction in pollution that such energy savings entails. Part of the money can also be used to carry out a campaign to encourage the same change in private homes, providing incentives such as discounts on the purchase of such lighting systems.

At the same time, we could think of models of street lamps with solar panels in the same style as parking meters or some traffic signs, so that the savings would be greater or the energy generated could be sold to the electricity grid.

It is necessary to think about saving expenses as well as it has been carried out, in this way greater budgetary items can be destined for things that are worthwhile to the citizens.

La Nave is the result of the rehabilitation of a part of the old and abandoned barracks, which was saved from real estate speculation thanks to the struggle of the neighbors of the neighborhood to maintain it for equipping the neighborhood.

It is a cultural macrospace that has two theater rooms, several multipurpose rooms, common areas and warehouses. The previous government left it in absolute disuse and even today, the programming that is carried out is far below the occupation that can accommodate this large space.

Our proposal consists in the creation of a cinema library, an audiovisual room for alternative, independent and non-fiction cinema programming that would be located in a room on the lower floor of the Nave Teatro.

It is a project that does not require a great investment but that would give cultural life to a neighbourhood that, like almost all of them, has lost all its cinemas, as well as offering all the people of Madrid the possibility of enriching our social and cultural life.

Thank you for supporting our proposal.
