What do you think of yourself acting in public space?
In my perception the way I live the public space depends on the place and the persons that I am with, most times we don’t enjoy the spaces as we should, maybe because of the routine of going through the same places every day or whether out of fear. After the workshop with Chotima I’ve learned that it’s important living spaces in different ways and see everything with new eyes, the same places that we visit every day could be beautiful if we build that atmosphere. Personally I enjoyed the whole experience and I realize that every moment we live in these places are ephemeral, we must find ways to make them pleasant and livable for all.
What do you think “The Salvadorean” attitude in public space is?
I think it's part of our culture to be closed when we are in unfamiliar surroundings, few people are waving to someone on the street or interact with someone who does not know. This, coupled with the insecurity of our city limits the interaction of people in public places where they feel vulnerable, but often it depends on how well you know a place, for example people who spend time or work in these places that are known to them may seem safe but for others not.
