On 26 April, Rebobinart created a participatory mural with the community organisations of the Les Corts neighbourhood in Barcelona. The project began with a site handed over for urban allotments on Passatge Felip de Pau, where several local organisations work every day: Centre d’Higiene Mental de les Corts, Espai Jove Cardí, Associació Discapacitat Visual Catalunya, Associació de Veïns Les Corts Sud, Associació de Veïns Camp Nou, Centre Ocupacional Paideia and Taller Ocupacional Ariadna.

A participatory workshop was held beforehand, in which Natalia Morales — a Costa Rican artist who had recently settled in the city — drew out the collective imagination of everyone involved through a range of artistic techniques. The final design grew out of an exchange between the artist and the people who work in the allotments.

The project also involved the artist Octavi Serra, whose techniques made it possible for people with visual impairments to take part. Conflict mediator Elisenda Carbonell joined the process too, running a session in which workshop participants could put into a few key words what it meant to them to take part in a neighbourhood project like the allotments. Those words were finally written on the wall in Braille, using a plaster-based technique.

The intervention brought colour to the space and made the people who use it feel it is even more their own. The process built a spirit of collaboration among everyone who cares for the allotments, creating a positive atmosphere that will help strengthen their work in the neighbourhood.
