YOUNG ARTISTS IN THE HOOD PROJECT "YOUHOOD" -CONVOCATORY FOR ARTISTS
The main objective of the project is the urban and community regeneration of the Melilla Rastro neighborhood, a meeting place of different cultures that for years has been a nerve center of the city's commerce; a neighborhood full of streets and emblematic buildings and vibrant energy that seeks measures for revitalization through art and creativity.

​

The Ministry of Culture and Celebrations will look for eight young artists from Melilla who will join eight others from the Netherlands and eight from Italy who want to join our project and contribute to the design and creation of a mural intervention in the Barrio del Rastro de Melilla.

The main aim of the project, funded by the Erasmus + Program, is the urban and community regeneration of Melilla and, in particular, of the Rastro district, a meeting place of different cultures and religions. This microcosm of Melilla, the neuralgic center of the city’s commerce, is currently going through a crisis that will lead to a deep decline if urgent measures will be not taken soon. We are referring to creative measures, that can redirect the situation.

aim to get to know our North African culture and interact with
local artists, and all together:

"The cultural and social reality of the city of
Melilla, focusing primarily on the neighborhood that was the origin of the
Multiculturalism of this city, El Rastro.
The learning method was online and at all times there was a
fluid communication between participants.
The topics covered in this online teaching process were identity
of different cultures, their symbols and their signs, their aesthetics and their
philosophy of life, emphasizing the leading role played
for the Amazigh woman."
