Cardboard City

Creative project · May 2024

Cardboard City

Can a pile of recycled scraps become a whole city? Cardboard City set out to prove it could.

Using only hot glue, scissors and recycled cardboard, participants worked together to turn everyday cardboard into a vibrant metropolis. Building by building, the city rose: proof that one person’s trash can become another’s Taj Mahal.

Moments from Cardboard City

In their words

From MINCA’s community

One of the best places in Barcelona to slow down and just experience creativity in its purest form.

A refreshing and energizing take on the creative process and personal development.

MINCA has shown me how to use words, colors, and movement to find my natural and instinctive ways of expression.
