Vagon Hermoso (Beautiful Wagon) The railway wagons will be used as a community workspace with internet access, literature, and supplies (wagon one) and as a residence for visiting artists and other guests (wagon two) linking local youth, free agents, and artists in the realization of social projects via exhibitions, art workshops, outdoor cinema events, access to technology, the creation of small edition literature, interviews among neighbors and new immigrants, group meals/public picnics, and other manifestations that value public over private and the collective over the individual. Vagon Hermoso values itself as an "open" project, that re-invites conversation regarding historical processes and politics that haven't been discussed since the disillusionment created after "progreso y porvenir"*, and gives new meaning to the potential for goodness through community public work. * a social slogan espoused by corrupt political
officials in the country throughout |

Vagon Hermoso Los vagones se utilizarán como espacio físico de trabajo y residencia para visitantes; vinculando a jóvenes gestores de proyectos sociales, talleres, muestras, comilonas, picnics y todas las cosas que valoren lo público por sobre lo privado; lo colectivo por sobre lo individual. Es un proyecto abierto que trata de instalar una discusión acerca de los procesos históricos, políticos y sociales, poniendo en valor nuevamente los bienes que nos pertenecen.
