ACUSTIKAS
ACUSTIKAS is an ongoing project documenting the soundscape of Vallekas.
Vallekas is a district in southeastern Madrid, formed by Puente de Vallecas and Villa de Vallecas. With a strong working-class and antifascist history, it grew rapidly in the 1950s through rural migration linked to industrial and construction labor.
Over time, the neighborhood has become a center of social movements and community activism, shaped by collective resistance and a strong local identity.
Traffic, voices, music, and everyday activity fill its streets, overpasses, and public spaces, defining a dense and constantly shifting urban soundscape.
