We are looking to activate the night  with  gathering and meeting places that are dynamic and safe.

Our approach

WHAT DO WE DO?

Placemaking for every context. 

​

 

Collaborative process to reimagine, reinvent and regenerate underused spaces in neighborhoods to create community.

WHO DO WE DO IT WITH?

With youth as agents of change.

 

 

Builders of safe and inclusive places that contribute to the development of personal and neighborhood identity.

WHY DO WE DO IT?

Because of the benefits of the appropriation of the night and

public spaces.​

 

With active places and more eyes on the street, ccrime and violence are reduced while revitalizing economies and local nightlife dynamics.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

 

With a methodology of participatory experimentation in which light becomes an artistic tool of expression.

in cities, the population with the lowest income has 6 times less access to public spaces than the population with the highest income.

Our work

We work hand in hand with the youth living in neighborhoods with underused and unsafe public spaces so that they create places based on artistic expression that are alive during the night and, in that way, strengthen the community’s social cohesion, its economy and culture.

...I was thinking that I can put light in my room, I mean, decorate it with light. In other words, what I learned here, do it at home, in my room.

Be part of the Alumbra community!

Together we can build safer, more attractive and dynamic neighborhoods
