Des dels blocs is an initiative launched by LaFundició in 2016 with the support of the Ana Díaz Rico Municipal Center. The initial proposal was to create a space in which different groups that used the center separately could develop joint initiatives through which to explain the Bloques de la Florida (Florida Blocks) to the world, from the blocks.
Throughout all these years, this initial intention has been maintained, despite the changing means and the coming and going of different people. Sewing and the word (oral or written) have been two of the main tools we have used in this time: tapestries, screen prints, radio programs, the Des de ja… magazine are some of the results of the different work processes that have been promoted. But the creation, and the debates that arise around the stories and representations that are produced, has given rise to many other things, generating complicities and alliances with different social and neighborhood movements.
Des dels blocs is, above all, an open and living space for community self-representation and organization.
We look forward to seeing you again at the Ana Díaz Rico Municipal Center every Monday from 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM!
