\"Stateless,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The project “Sin Estado\/Stateless” is part of a collaboration between Santiago Cirugeda, Democracia and Todo Por la Praxis. The proposal has as its objective a multidisciplinary intervention embracing art and architecture, with the background of illegal settlements in La Ca\u00f1ada Real (Madrid), which were being demolished and their inhabitants evicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ca\u00f1ada Real Galiana is an old transhumance route that shelters more than 2,000 dwellings and nearly 40,000 inhabitants spread over 15 km of land. The first buildings go back to the 1970\u2019s when people from the closest council areas (Vallecas, Getafe and others) put up small constructions there. With time, the settlement has grown and become more complex in composition. The signficant population of long-standing inhabitants has been supplemented by an immigrant population – national and foreign \u2013 in which Marrocans and Rumanians are prominent. Drug trafficking and construction businesses starting up on public lands run side by side in La Ca\u00f1ada Real, as do substandard shanty dwellings and detached houses, and illegal hotels and country houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name of the project “Sin Estado\/Stateless” suggests two interpretations. First, it is a response to the use of public funding derived from artistic sources and destined for activity of a social nature in an area in which the authorities themselves decline to run any public service. Secondly, it refers to a territory that is marginalised, deregulated and lacking in legal and administrative facilities.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sin Estado\/Stateless” attempts to consider, from a practical standpoint, the possibilities and contradictions of artistic activity in the social field, approaching La Ca\u00f1ada Real from different perspectives: from mapping to negotiations with the social movements settled there to provide equipment and facilities for the community; and from the generation of processes of visibilization and symbolization of the territory to consideration of the contradictions of the process itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
