Pulacerca – Coletivo Opavivará!

Abstract

OPAVIVARÁ! is a Brazilian collective of contemporary art that has been producing artistic manifestations in public spaces, galleries, and cultural institutions since its creation in 2005, proposing shifts in the way urban spaces are occupied through interventions that promote collective experiences. For this paper, the Pula Cerca work was chosen, which consisted of an intervention done on the fence of Tiradentes Square during the 1st Viradão Cultural in Rio de Janeiro, 2019. Eight ladders were installed to compose a diagonal passageway in which pedestrians would be able to cross a fence barrier from the street to the square.
