The Grupo Pparalelo de Arte Contemporânea was founded in March 2008 in the city of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil with the clear desire to act, through artistic actions, in the landscape of urban centres other than capital cities. The intention was to verify, through praxis, drift, collaborative work and dialogue, possibilities of building new agendas, other professional relationships and affective bonds of friendship while proposing other ways of activating artistic circuits and nuclei latent in different Brazilian and Latin American cities.
