Uma ilustração desenhada à mão de cada um dos seis bairros do distrito de Tetuán, em Madrid, é mostrada, juntamente com as suas coordenadas geográficas e nome oficial. Cada bairro está associado a uma cor diferente, com a ideia de que é uma peça do quebra-cabeças colorido que, quando juntadas, formam o poster na parte de trás: o distrito. Isto alude ao tema da exposição coletiva “Histórias do Dia a Dia de um Bairro Diverso”, que pretende destacar a diversidade social e cultural dos bairros desta zona de Madrid. O formato do zine exige uma divisão central, que no poster funciona como uma metáfora visual representando o fosso socioeconómico entre o lado direito (rico) e o esquerdo (pobre) do distrito. Todas as letras e números são vinil aplicados à mão no papel original e provêm de uma loja do distrito que fechou em 2015. A contracapa apresenta os nomes dos artistas que participaram nesta edição da exposição.
A hand-drawn illustration of each of the six neighborhoods in the Tetuán district of Madrid is shown, along with their geographic coordinates and official name. Each neighborhood is associated with a different color, with the idea that it is a piece of the colorful puzzle that, when put together, forms the poster on the back: the district. This alludes to the theme of the group exhibition "Everyday Stories of a Diverse Neighborhood," which seeks to highlight the social and cultural diversity of the neighborhoods in this area of Madrid. The zine's format requires a central divide, which in the poster functions as a visual metaphor representing the socioeconomic gap between the right (rich) and left (poor) sides of the district. All the letters and numbers are hand-applied vinyl on the original paper and come from a store in the district that closed in 2015. The back cover features the names of the artists who participated in this edition of the exhibition.
I am Lucía Sánchez Tardón, an artist and illustrator in training, and a member of two associations/cooperatives in the Tetuán district (Madrid). My interests are diverse and closely related to art, but also to the environment and urban and rural development. I have a master's degree in urban planning and territorial and local development, and I believe in associative and social movements as a driver of change. Through my training as an artist, I am seeking new ways to collaborate with others and to gain insight into the reality of my city and my own. In December 2024/January 2025, I was able to hold my first solo art exhibition and have collaborated on other group exhibitions. I feel that art has a transformative power for people. I believe it is a very powerful means of expression that generates reflection.
