The participative artistic project Legado Coidado, which is being developed in Betanzos by Concomitentes, is organising a public meeting on 22 April at 11.00 a.m. to consider the possible location of the artistic intervention. The aim of this meeting is to evaluate, on the ground, the possible locations of the intervention. Accompanied by a provisional model, we walked through the lower part of the Pasatempo Park, where the water channel used to be.. It is about talking about the place, the land and the stories associated with it in order to locate possible points of interest where to place the artwork.

O encontro público será conducido pola artista Carme Nogueira, who will develop the piece in dialogue with the local community, with the aim of continuing to open up the participatory process. All knowledge is welcome, so anyone who wishes to participate is encouraged to do so. The meeting point will be ás 11.00 horas o sábado 22 de abril diante da estatua da Caridade, in the immediate vicinity of the Irmáns García Naveira football pitch. Once the potential location of the artistic intervention has been defined, we will continue with the definition of the final piece, which must have the pertinent heritage permits, due to its degree of protection, as well as the adaptation to the Master Plan that has been recently approved.

This artistic project is part of Concomitentes, an art production company that develops artistic projects based on the demands of the community and has the support of the Asociación Amigas del Parque del Pasatiempo, ACLP Roxín Roxal e a Asociación Amigos do Casco Histórico de Betanzos, The event is supported by the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation and the Government of Spain, in addition to the collaboration of the Betanzos City Council and the support of the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation and the Government of Spain.
