The school as a strategic place for the social reactivation of the neighbourhood
Abstract
This article presents a project that is defined in the context of artistic practices aimed at improving society. A proposal for collective painting emerged and developed in the public primary school Barriomar 74, with the aim of denouncing the precarious situation of the peripheral neighbourhood of the city of Murcia: La Purísima-Barriomar. The pictorial action arose and developed within the public primary school of the same name as the neighbourhood, with the support and participation of some of the pupils, most of whom are immigrants. A visual story with which the author of this text, as well as the artist who carries out the project integrates with the pupils in order to understand the social and cultural discrimination in which they live. With tinges of activist, collaborative and public art, the practice is developed thanks to the collaboration of the pupils and the teachers. The figure of the artist emerges as an agent from outside the neighbourhood whose aim is to act against this situation of social unrest, as well as getting involved in the cause and providing the affected community with the right tools so that the action can be sustained over time.
