Entitled Reinstaurarthe Sector's curatorial program is in the hands of artist and curator Carla Zaccagnini. The talks focus on works by key names in Latin American art, such as painter Di Cavanlcanti, sculptor Bruno Giorgi, conceptual artist Marta Minujín and multi-artist Frans Krajcberg.

Satélite

The Satellite Sector, dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary audiovisual works, provided the public at the 2nd edition of ArPa with an artistic immersion from the moment they arrived at the Fair, through a large screen located above the entrance to the Pacaembu Pavilion. Under the title Pontos de luz, in reference to the song of the same name immortalized by Gal Costa, the curatorial program signed by researcher Diego Matos brought together 10 national and international galleries, presenting works by artists from Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru and Portugal. The selection sought to reflect the human factor as inherent to the aesthetic and political survival of art.
