Migration and Urban Development
Exhibition, Costa Rica, 2006.
Migration and Urban Development is a proposal that intends to show the migration phenomenon from its socio-economic perspective and its impact on urban development. The goal is to raise awareness amongst the Costa Rican public about the state and development of their capital and the complexity of the migratory dynamics in the world, region and at national level.
The project grew out of the perceived importance to describe and create social conscience regarding one of the most important phenomena in the world and specifically in contemporary Latin American societies: migration. The growing flow of Latin migrants has important socio-cultural and economic impacts on the countries of origin as well as the receiving countries. Moreover, migration has an effect on the development of the receiving ("growing") and expulsing ("shrinking") cities. This is shown in the exhibition using San Jose, Costa Rica and Managua, Nicaragua as case study examples. The investigation focuses on important topics such as the informal economy, use or decline of public spaces, problems of waste disposal, pollution, transport, security, and the development of the urban centre in relation to suburban sprawl. Those areas are compared to the urban residual zones, which are typically inhabited by the poor including large numbers of economical migrants.
The exhibition material includes a multimedia montage with films, radio programs, and video projections of Blitzinterviews (short oral history), photographs, maps, and infographs.
One part of the exhibition is exhibited in the National Museum of Costa Rica, this so-called Indoor Museum is paralleled by the Outdoor Museum where information is presented on large scale billboards, LED screens, bus stops, banners, the museum wrap in various public locations of San Jose.
The material of the Outdoor Museum will be recycled within two series of products named Recreo and Farm Bag. Sales and gains benefit vulnerable groups such as migrants or single mothers in Costa Rica that help us manufacturing the designs.
