The most important thing is that the kids enjoyed it a lot, learned through the game and kept adding things to it. What caught their attention the most is the way Yayoi works with dots and colors. We learn about the artist’s life, and the sacrifices she made. She had to present her as a woman in order to be recognized, because her father did not want her to be an artist and she had to live in the United States.”

It is difficult because our streets do not have names or signs.”

We also think That in this way the tourism of our town will increase because there are many activities. We gave interviews such as Jose Bernegotti who wrote about the railways and the history of the city, surveys, we went to the station and other activities”, they pointed out.

At first, we had the idea to take it to the municipality and raise it, but we weren’t able to because of a matter of time. Hopefully over time this will become possible. time, because it is a very useful thing for neighbors. ”
