Faced with violence and the lack of safe spaces for children and adolescents in the city, we have carried out a training process so that they can narrate how they live, what they do, what they work on and express their needs, desires and proposals to improve their work and recreation space.
For more than a month, we worked with photography, video and audio tools, to be able to capture the most emblematic spaces of their work. More than 120 children participated in the actions. 20 families were interviewed about what their work is like and what needs they see that children have in the markets.
The result of this process was a photographic exhibition in the city center, where for a month, the photographs taken by the children were displayed, to share their vision with more people and raise awareness: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/Mcxj1PnapusNs1E2/?mibextid=WC7FNe
In the following link, you can see the entire process in the three markets on video: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/r45qmFj3DDRwzG7G/?mibextid=WC7FNe
Finally, the audios are available (in Spanish): https://www.facebook.com/share/v/8EsCkArazsruom1D/
