We publish Los Futuros, a collection of stories and testimonies arising from a collective project between young people and elderly people from Sant Andreu

We are very excited to present you the publication The futures: a collection of stories, testimonies and materials arising from a process of collective work with young people in the framework of the LAB Migrante project. A mediation project that was born from the will of generate relationships with the facilities and the community that surrounds us.

It’s been more than two years since, by the hand of the cultural manager, playwright and actor Nacho Tamagnowe organized a series of workshops to generate a space of ttheft and creative bonding between teenagers Casal de Joves El Click i people from the Old People’s Home in the Navas neighborhood. Once the workshops were over, we collected the texts that the young people wrote in the publication The futures.

This book collects the result of two years of collective work with more than thirty teenagers and elderly people from the district of Sant Andreu. Through writing, self-narration and shared imagination, people of various ages, origins and trajectories give voice to their experiences, memories and visions of the future. A publication that claims the right to explain itself from the inside and invites you to look at the neighborhood through the eyes of those who inhabit it.

In May, we hosted the presentation of the booklet at La Nau, a meeting where the authors of the publications read some excerpts and we were able to talk with them about how they experienced the creation process.
