¡QUÉ LATA! IS A SHARED ACT TO RAISE OUR AWARENESS ABOUT THE DISCONNECTION BETWEEN CONSUMPTION AND WASTE. REINVENTING THE RESIDUE OF THE PARTY NIGHTS WE BECOME A MACHINE THAT CROSSES THE NEIGHBOURHOOD LEAVING A SIGN.

Graphic-urban action that criticizes the garbage that invades the Malasaña neighborhood. Participatively, using aluminium cans as brushes, it generates a representation of the space we take away from ourselves as users of the public thoroughfare and adds a reflective and creative character to our gestures as consumers of leisure.

Somos Malasaña and Madrid Street Art Project organize Pinta Malasaña: a day dedicated to street art, with 100 artists and spaces to intervene.

“The machine”,

built with recycled materials from Madrid’s streets, serves as a “singing cart” calling the public to the festival of Pinta Malasaña with a performance-tour through the streets of Madrid. During the festival, it serves as a painter’s palette and container, to make visible the aluminium cans normally lying around the neighbourhood. After the performance it becomes the new “Clean Free Zone” of El Campo de La Cebada, a self-organised plaza in La Latina, Madrid.
