Abstract

We started a dialogue with two founders of Gambiologia Colective. The collective is based on “gambiarra” tradition, which is the adaptation and improvisation in order to find simple and creative solutions using low resources. The Collective is formed by Fred Paulino, Lucas Mafra and Paulo Henrique Pessoa [Ganso], and they have presented works in many exhibitions. The group presents discussions about inclusion, indeterminism and the “gambiarra” aesthetics. Fred Paulino and Lucas Mafra were present in this interview.
