Encorsetado entre las infraestructuras del aeropuerto de Barajas, la M-40 y la A-2, la Alameda de Osuna era una isla desconectada del resto de Madrid.
Allí crecimos, inventándonos un ocio que las instituciones no facilitaban, y que salir del barrio a buscarlo suponía una odisea de buses y metros.
Una vía de tren abandonada era nuestro centro social, allí empezamos a pintar graffiti, entre chavales que aporreaban guitarras, hacían malabares, bailaban breakdance o rapeaban.
Un entorno de creatividad espontánea, algo punk, que sin duda marcó a esas generaciones crecidas en los 90.
Hoy, muchos años después, la Alameda ha cambiado.
También nosotros, pero sigue intacto el orgullo de, sin importar la distancia, tener un barrio al que llamar casa.
El proyecto se llevó a cabo dentro del Programa Cultural 21 distritos del Ayuntamiento de Madrid.

Sandwiched between the infrastructure of the Barajas airport, the M-40 and the A-2, the Alameda de Osuna was an island disconnected from the rest of Madrid.
"We grew up there, inventing a leisure that the institutions did not facilitate, and that leaving the neighborhood to look for it meant an odyssey of buses and subways."
An abandoned train track was our social center, there we started painting graffiti, among kids banging guitars, juggling, breakdancing or rapping.
An environment of spontaneous creativity, somewhat punk, that undoubtedly marked those generations that grew up in the 90s. Today, many years later, the Alameda has changed. So do we, but the pride of, regardless of the distance, having a neighborhood to call home remains intact.
The project was carried out as part of the City of Madrid’s 21 distritos Cultural Program.
