Kairos for the worker to perform
|
Monterrey’s Fundidora Park is currently home to an important part of the city’s cultural activity. Inside it one finds the film library, a public art gallery, the Center for the Arts, the Wax Museum, an ice rink, and many other facilities. It also houses two of the most important concert halls in the city, where major festivals are held. In its beginnings it was a steel foundry and one of the largest sources of employment for the local population, which made possible the creation of the Acero, Buenos Aires, Obrera, and Terminal neighborhoods. Sports facilities and the España park were also created for the recreation of workers and the general public. Fundidora was the epicenter of Monterrey’s social and economic movement, so much so that between 1903 and 1986 its whistle set the rhythm of the city, even for those who did not work there. Monterrey has always been a city that builds on its past and erases the traces of its memory. In this sound-textual work, the memory of former workers prevails as an amplification of the past. |
