Created by artist Fabiana de Barros in 1998, when she took part in an artistic exchange between Switzerland, Brazil, and France, in João Pessoa (state of Paraíba), the Fiteiro Cultural [Culture Kiosk] had the intention of being an ideal space, capable of transforming into an atelier, a stage, an exhibition venue, or a place suited for resting, reading, and thinking.This second edition of Aberto [Open]: Culture Kiosk reinterprets and updates the work whose name it bears. The book was strengthened in its function of recording, analyzing, and displaying the visual memory of the structure and the impact of the Fiteiro Cultural in the cities it has visited and on the people that dedicated their reflection to it.

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.
