A DIARY OF UNCERTAIN FUTURE

Public spaces and social centers have long been
the beating heart of cities, hubs of political, social,
and cultural stories that make them vital to their communities.
Marked by struggle and commitment, they reflect
urban transformations and conflicts.

Today, many of these places are at risk of being destroyed
or fundamentally altered by real estate speculation,
erasing memories and resistance. Urban redevelopment,
often presented as synonymous with modernity,
conceals social inequalities, homogenization of spaces,
and gentrification.

Red zones, symbols of marginalization and resistance,
are increasingly under threat, while the identity
of these places and the people who inhabit them
fades under the weight of speculation.
