I was walking in Marvila, I looked up and atop this warehouse I saw a makeshift structure, wow, what a sight, so rich in potential, I wonder what’s in there, oh, I remember, its just a restaurant/bar, I can be nothing but just a consumer for this space, what a disappointment.

Just another reminder why I, among others, am holding this vision to exist in a space where living, creating ad sharing are all one and the same, so that you and I are not merely consumers, you and I can walk into such a space get insights, get inspired, collaborate, join forces, exchange ideas on how we can position ourselves intentionally within the urban context, minimize our dependencies on the global trade, supermarkets, corporate service providers and more and implement them.

1st of April fools’ day, can’t think of a better day to start playing.

As we carry on doing the work at Quinta do Mocho with @amelia.soup with the support of logos.co (decentralized technology stack) in the guidance of the community leaders Vania Vanessa Vaz and Bangura , to break the design of the public housing neighborhood, which is more of a trap than a home to people, now I am embarking on the next phase of our intention.

We have been able to access Quinta do Mocho, Apelaçao and bairro do Talude with @m41.m thanks to @maisunomaisum.
