Migration has been a constant phenomenon throughout human history and has played a fundamental role in the formation and development of cities. While it may not appear to be a particularly novel approach at first glance, there are few topics more relevant today than migration, which is intersected by political, geostrategic, economic, environmental, and urban issues. Today, new structural factors are driving it with greater force than ever before. Instability in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, the war in Ukraine, climate change, poverty, and population growth only serve to increase the flow of people seeking a better place in the world.

Architect, painter, and sculptor Joaquín Vaquero Palacios (Oviedo, 1900–Madrid, 1998) was a total creator who approached the creative process holistically.

Asturias, 1954-1980' at the Museo ICO focuses on the work he realized through a 30-year collaboration with Hidroeléctrica del Cantábrico, resulting in five Asturian power plants conceived as total works of art.

Tejiendo La Calle is an open-participation project. It consists of creating sunshades using an XXL crochet technique, which are installed in the streets of Valverde de La Vera during the town's cultural week and August festivities. We began in 2013 and continue to work on the project today.

The resulting installation helps express the local identity and serves as a medium for the intentions and desires of the project's participants. It welcomes visitors and helps create a celebratory atmosphere. The pieces function as sunshades during the day and are illuminated at night, lighting the way to the town square, the main meeting point during the festivities.
