Remodelling La Paz
Presentation of a project carried out by students from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Universidad de Murcia and Pedro Ortuño, artist and professor at the same institution.
This is a collaborative audiovisual project carried out as part of the class Interventions in urban and natural space. It focuses on La Paz, a working class neighbourhood in Murcia that is known for its cultural diversity and its controversial nature. For years the city council has had plans for an urban remodelling project here, plans which will no doubt alter the neighbourhood's identity.
