20/03 - Intervention

In the final week our task was to do some sort of intervention in our nagar. An intervention could be anything which ‘disturbs’ the daily life of the slum-dwellers. For example the group who got the 13th-coumpound as there nagar created a couch of bottles as a social element in the public space. A couch as the stereo type ‘public element’ in the public space.

What we did is to let the children in our nagar draw there ‘dream house’ and also what there father’s job is. What was quite interesting is that the children draw the exact same ‘ideal’ house as western children do. A hip roof, with a round window in it and two square windows symmetrically juxtapositioned with the entrance door in the middle of the façade. The house is positioned in a green hilly landscape with, of course, a beautiful smiling sunset. We pasted the results of our intervention al around our nagar on the walls of different slums. Our goal was to paste the drawings from the children on there dwelling were the live, but this was to difficult and to hectic in the end.
