Micropolíticas vagabundas II _ Vagrant Micropolitics II 

(2018)






 
Urban interventions, Asunción, 2018


Photographic records of interventions carried out by the artist in the chilhood neighborhood.

As a starting point for this investigation, the artist consulted the website of a local newspaper -a space where the citizens can make public complaints-. She visited the mentioned places after a year, and intervened the broken pavement with painting, with the intention to mark off these urban scars and to leave small gestures for the passers-by.

Como punto de partida de esta investigación, la artista consultó la página web de un periódico local -un espacio donde los ciudadanos pueden dejar denuncias públicas-. Visitó los lugares luego de un año, y realizó intervenciones con pintura en el pavimento roto, para señalar estas cicatrices urbanas y, a su vez, dejar pequeños gestos para los demás transeúntes.
