Description
"Cica 500.000persone abitano a Mathare, la secunda baraccopoli di Nairobi. Qui, ogni giorno, affliscono gli infinit rifiuti scartati dalla capitale che i residenti accolgono come una manna: inaspettato regalo da rimettere nel circolo della vita quotidiana, per affrontarne i disagi e la povertà attraverso l'arma del progetto. Nascono dagli scarti pentole e fornelli per cucinare; scope per pulire, seghe per tagliare, utensili per prendere le braci senza scottarsi, pinze e martelli per lavorare i materiali con la forza necessaria, mestoli e rastrelli, trappole per topi, lampade per illuminare la vita domestica nelle baracche, scarpe per coprire i piedi nudi su un terreno accidentato e malsano. Ma anche vestiti per la festa; tamburi perfar musica; giocattoli per bambini, a coprire una gamma di necessità che comprendono anche i diritti della bellezza e della fantasia. La logica è quella produzione seriale, ma la serialità è di natura artigianale, espressione di una economia interna nata per soddisfare i bisogni di persone che non hanno accesso a beni di consumo proposti dal mercato"--Page four of cover. "There are about 500,000 people living in Mathare, the second largest slum in Nairobi. The people who live there see the endless deluge of waste coming from the capital each day as a godsend: an unexpected gift to take and put to use in their daily routine, to face hardships and poverty through the weapon of design. So much is hidden amongst the waste: pots and pans for cooking, brooms for cleaning, saws for chopping, tools used to move coal without getting burnt, pliers and hammers to manipulate materials, ladles and rakes, mouse traps, lamps to light up their homes, shoes to protect bare feet from the rugged, unsafe terrain. There are also clothes to dress up in, drums to make music as well as toys for children, which cover a range of needs, including the rights of beauty and imagination. The logic is that of mass production, but made with a handcrafted nature; a expression of an internal economy that wa created to satisfy the needs of those who do not have access to consumer goods offered by the market"--Page four of cover.
