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.

The seminar program consists of activities that promote a collective experience of exchange and learning, such as presentations of work from model offices, practical workshops, lectures, roundtables, and experiences and interventions in urban spaces.
