Blanca, a small town huddling at the foot of Peña Negra, a volcanic black rock, is reinventing parts of its structure, helped by impulses from artists’ platform AADK Spain. Part of this process is the rediscovery of the actual potentials of a shrunk city. The workshop Back To Life will be an integral step in further developing these impulses.
Living for ten days at Centro Negra, 20 international participants in the creative field will focus on the urban situation where the town meets the steep rock of Peña Negra. Here, a set of small informal architectures originally served as micro ‘‘subsistence city’’, mainly used for chicken raising and husbandry. These abandoned structures are now ruins in various stages of decay or reconstruction.
