In the last 4 years, 12 teachers and more than 300 students of the degree in Fine Arts have participated together with the AG-Fitel Foundation in the organization and realization of a whole battery of exhibitions and cultural activities that sought to draw attention to a humble building of the city of Madrid. the exhibits Poetics of Resistance, Memory and Oblivion; Refuge: humanity in transit; Displacement 3.0; the sculpture In crops of nobody; projections in Wings of memory; Latent Peripheries; as well as the murals Mosaics; Memory Pieces y From They intended to spread the need to preserve the property and relocate its neighbors.

On March 15, the objective pursued by the platform became a reality #SavePeironely10, in which the URJC is integrated, by achieving the relocation of Cristina and her family, the last of the 13 families that lived in a building that has been expropriated by the Madrid City Council for its conservation as a heritage asset. 

This humble home hid a story in which photography and memory came together. At the beginning of the Civil War, Vallecas suffered the indiscriminate and devastating attack of German aviation on the streets of the popular Madrid neighborhood. The famous photographer Robert Capa was one of the reporters who traveled there to capture what happened and according to his biographer Richard Whelan, that report is considered today as one of his best works on the Spanish Civil War.

The photo that Robert Capa took of the building at 10 Peironcely Street, with its facade riddled with shrapnel and some children sitting in the middle of the disaster, was published at the time in various media (Zürcher Ilustrierte, Regards, The New York Times ) and now, over the years, this image has become even stronger and stands as a symbol against the barbarity of war.

The history of the house and its inhabitants remained hidden until 2010, when photographers José Latova and his assistant Alberto Martín Escudero identified the house that Robert Capa had photographed more than 70 years ago, at 10 Peironcely Street, in Vallecas neighborhood.

In 2017 the Anastasio de Gracia-Fitel Foundation created the platform #SavePeironcely 10 and it is at this time that Tomás Zarza and Miguel Sánchez-Moñita, professors of the BBAA degree, began to collaborate with the platform to achieve the protection of the building through various artistic activities that put the importance of of this building. This work was later joined by a dozen teachers and hundreds of students who collaborated in the various activities. 

With the expropriation and relocation, a second phase of the project begins to convert the house into the Robert Capa Center for the interpretation of the aerial bombardments on Madrid. The working group, in which several professors from the URJC are integrated, intends that this center be the beginning of a profound reactivation of this degraded area of ​​the capital.
