[ESP]
A mediation residency whose objective is to work with the collective identities of the neighbourhoods through a direct exercise with local organisations and agents. The idea is to generate a permanent space for collaborative creation with the environment, based on the geographical and symbolic articulation of being located in the south of Madrid. The interest in opening this area of work arises from the sustained relationship that TXP has had with some of these neighbourhoods. The aim is to maintain the relations of dialogue through art with the agents that exist and with whom we have worked over the years, as well as to build new articulations with those that emerge, opening up the possibility of our artistic work contributes to a symbolic redistribution that involves making other narratives visible. This implies making a connection between these social spaces with mediating artists and researchers from where a series of processes can emerge in context.

From meetings with neighbors and with different cultural agents of the city of Madrid, they activated exercises of territorial recognition and sharing of some stories that form the identity of the neighborhood.
