Antizoo Moradavaga - Noche de luna llena
click here to read more...
16 - 19th of July 2008 - Segovia, Spain
Workshop, exhibition and safari with children to discover the city of Segovia in a different way
click here to see the video of the event
We present you the ANTIZOO MORADAVAGA:
A Zoo is a prison for the animals. They’re incarcerated, away from their natural environment, and at the disposal of human beings.
With MORADAVAGA’s ANTIZOO we will identify those “animals-spaces” that surrounds us and are in danger of extinction or that, for one reason or the other, we don’t seem to value at a given time, to liberate them and invest them with a new concept of utility for Segovia, integrating them in the city’s urban tissue. We’ll also be finding “animals-spaces” that have adapted and coexisted with Segovia’s many changes and evolutions throughout history, and that have become protected species.
Together with MORADAVAGA we will create a Natural Park in which children will act as our guides, for only them, with their unpolluted and imaginative vision, will be capable of showing grownups what their eyes have been missing and, because of that, abandoning and letting rot.
This ANTIZOO’s sees the urban territory as a big Natural Park inside of which there are many different species of “animals-spaces”. Here we can find animals in danger of extinction (ruined and abandoned buildings), for which we must find solutions, otherwise they will disappear, parasite animals (like theatres converted into fast food restaurants), protected animals (national and world heritage buildings), etcetera. Our goal is to recover the endangered animals and mime the ones that have been capable of surviving in the city so that they can all find a harmonious future in the urban territory.
Our aim is to make children aware of their own power to transform the urban spaces with their imagination, since tomorrow these spaces will be the ones in which they will carry out their own projects and dreams. We also want for them to identify the different problematics that affect various urban spaces and that they try to come up with imaginative and creative solutions.
What you have in front of your eyes it’s the result of the transforming and imaginative capacity of the children that have participated in this activity.
Welcome to the ANTIZOO!
Many thanks to Caritas, Klein, ParamotionFilms, Noche de luna llena, Segovia Joven and Rafael Ordorika

Ideas Competition Porto
click here to read more...
The aim of the competition was to motivate participants to propose ideas and concepts for a “temporary animation” of one (or more) space(s) of their choice, within the limits of Porto’s District, in the context of an ephemeral event of some kind. Each participant or group could submit as many entries as desired and was asked to present:
- an A6 flyer, that would work as an invitation for a visit to the vacant address in which the proposed activity and/or object would take place, that had to contain the address and a short description of the Project;
- two A3 sheets containing a small text with a short description of the idea and its function, the reasons for the choice of the place, the explanation of the construction aspects and/or the necessary means to implement the Project, and a graphic representation of the proposal making it possible to compare beetween the “before” and the “during”/”after” of the intervention (weather an activity or an object).
For those who were not familiar with the city of Porto, it was possible to find information about some places that could be interesting to work over in the competition’s internet site.
(Here can be some small images of the examples we provided)
Fourteen projects by authors from five countries (Austria, Brazil, Germany, Italy and Portugal) were submitted.
Comprising a wide variety of themes and different levels of complexity the proposals ranged from the most simple of gestures to the most utopian of views.

Moradavaga na Fábrica Social
click here to read more...
“Moradavaga at Fábrica Social” was a one-day event that took place on the 16th of June 2007, in and around the buildings of an old derelict factory in Porto called Fábrica Social (Social Factory).
With a program that included the viewing and discussion of three short movies by the collective OSU (Ocupa Sensibiliza Utiliza) and a picnic, in addition to the exhibition of the works of the participants in the Ideas Competition launched by Moradavaga in April 2007, only the rain was able to reduce a little bit the success of the event. In spite of the weather, about 50 persons came to the premises of FÁBRICA SOCIAL on the day of the event.

Those who were courageous enough to “tackle” the wind and the rain that fell that afternoon were able to wander around the semi-abandoned spaces of the old factory seeing the presented works as well as watching the movies that were screened in an improvised auditorium.

Moradavaga would like to express its gratitude to all those who participated and helped in the exhibition as well as to those who resisted to the heavy rain and came to see it!
