After a year of working with workers and residents of Porta Palazzo on the theme of integrated security, we decided to try them out on a concrete and symbolic of care in our neighborhood, why not repaint some walls full of graffiti and writings? Our proposal was accepted by a group dynamic and together we decided to intervene on three walls with different characteristics.
The first wall is the corner of Piazza della Repubblica and Via Priocca, the second is the wall of the nursery at the corner of Via Mameli Andreis, the third wall is that of public toilets near the bridge Carpanini. This wall contains gray work by an artist from Turin, BR1, beautiful and colorful, but marred by an act vandalism. In particular, represented the woman's face was torn. In this case we decided not only to clean up the wall but also to give a face to this woman and do some additional work with some drawings made by children who attend the gardens of Borgo Dora, fornt of work.
Last week then, thanks to the collaboration of the Fondazione Torino Contrada and Industry Urban Furniture City, we were armed with brushes and color and we have cleaned up the three walls. Of course we did not change the face of the neighborhood, but we, in our small, helped to improve the decor of the place where we live and work.
Sincere thanks to all those who participated: Mohamed Moustapha, Daniel, Mark, Simon, Abdelaziz, Eleanor, Fanny, Sandrine, Moulay Hafid, Isabel, Antonio, Carlo, Germano, Conrad, Irene and Paul. Thanks also to those who wanted to be there and not have it done, it will be for next time.
