From Sangre de Cristo to Santo Domingo, along the Alcalá, one is now able to “have a seat.”
As part of the inauguration of the Me Siento Bien en Oaxaca (I Feel Good in Oaxaca) and to celebrate, International Youth Day, 13 pieces were created by students of the Faculty of Architecture Cinco de Mayo, the Free School of Art and Design, and the Urban Contingency B_root studio.
The theme was Evolution and the young people were charged with using recycled materials and innovative design.
I think they succeeded!
Alas, it is only temporary; August 18 is the last day.
However, according to a newspaper report, as a more permanent part of Me Siento Bien en Oaxaca program, benches “rescued by the City” will be put in public spaces.

What a wonderful theme, and the seats are spectacular! The students did great job!
This should be a idea that goes viral and shows up in all cities!
I’ll be interested to see if the city carries through with the plan to put “rescued” benches (whatever that means) in public spaces. Traditionally, this is not a “throw away” society — both with respect to economic constraints and to an indigenous respect for nature’s resources. I love that the bottom halves of soda cans and thirds of plastic bottles are used by nurseries to plant and sell seedlings, that spare parts for blenders are available in every mercado, and that duct tape has more uses than I ever thought possible.
