The book documents the itinerary and community response to the interactive activities of the constantly changing open art project "Fiteiro Cultural" created by artist De Barros and inspired in the unauthorized street vendor booths that ephemerally invade the public spaces of Sao Paulo. The art kiosks are metaphors of the socially and artistically legitimate places of culture stating the contrasts in the occupation of public space based on its function and was created when the artist participated in an artistic interchange between Switzerland, Brazil and France in the city of Joao Pessoa in northern Brazil in 1998. In 2004 she installed five separate kiosks in various locations of the city Sao Paulo during the World Cultural Forum.
