by imc-ie dunk (fuspey [at] yahoo.co.uk)
Documentary 2 from the Garden. 4 months on and its really really coming to life. These recordings are from our weekend of mural painting...WOW!! Here we talk to local Daddy Edwart talking about la tribu, the alternative education group for 1-4 year olds. Also we talk with Xavi and NYC muralista Kevin about the mural and all the magic that it creates. We also might have a world record?

Yeah, We have a huge 10 x 5 metre mural painted 2 floors up on a side wall of an Aubergine, we are investigating if it is actually the worlds largest painted aunbergine, if so, great... if not, no worries as Kev said "It makes me smile as I pass by on the street"

Kevin did a bit of mural work in Mexico and some others did work with Sandinistas from Nicaragua, we talk a bit about the history of murals in Latin America, the crossover between the hip art worlds and the punky political action worlds... gardens offer space for new connections, new dialogues... Its all good!

Documentary 3 from the Garden. 4 months on and its really really coming to life. Laura, a politically motivated local activist from the barrio brings us for a tour of the garden, from the street through all that is happening in this little solar in Gracia.
