Like other cities, Valencia has places where people share a collective memory, that is, the things made us what we really are. Yet, the city lacks places where collective wishes can be shared, places where we can express what we would like to be.
Some people see opportunities in unused spaces and know that citizens are able to manage them and provide them with contents.
Some open-source computer tools actually allow us to find them and run them, identifying needs and the groups working on this type of projects.
We can involve public administrations and ask them about the difficulties that these management models generate, to try and find solutions that can ensure access to underused resources, make their use flexible and spread this citizen boost.
POP UP VALENCIA compiles a series of projects and processes that prove that there are work lines committed with the city, proposals that can take everyday life to abandoned places and arouse citizens' responsibility for their environment, for them to overcome their daily problems without big budgets.
These proposals make unused places visible and show their possibilities for use and management. A dialogue has been started with public bodies (universities, the council, etc.) in order to boost new participation-based management tools. In the exhibition, the outcome of this ongoing dialogue becomes food for thought to keep on working.
