Un baile en el jardín. A public square reimagined by its own neighbours.

How four neighbourhoods of southern Zaragoza wrote their own piece of urban heritage.
The Centro Cívico Distrito Sur — a municipal cultural facility serving Rosales del Canal, Montecanal, Arcosur and Valdespartera — wanted the public square in front of its building to stop being a place of transit and become a place of recognition. They asked Bozeta to design an artistic intervention that would emerge from the neighbours themselves, rather than being delivered to them. Over several weeks in the spring of 2025, we ran co-creation workshops with children, families and residents of the four districts, working together on the visual language, the figures and the story the piece would tell. The community arrived at a contemporary reinterpretation of the Aragonese jota, with the Virgen del Pilar at its centre — a piece of intangible regional heritage translated into the shapes and colours of the people who live around it today.
