We from Grupo Poro have been working together since 2002 and the city has always been the main subject of our propositions. It’s in the city that we find and from which we extract poetic material for the construction of works which seek, among other things, to reframe urban spaces with propositions of poetic and/or political nature. In this paper, in the form of a manifest, we wish to present some of our concerns regarding the contemporary urban processes and to propose a more open and relational way to make art. Poro’s urban interventions and ephemeral actions aim at raising questions about urban problems and try to point out subtleties, calling attention to aspects of the city that have become invisible due to the accelerated rhythm of life in the big urban centers. Poro intents to reflect upon the possibilities of the relationship between public and institutional spaces and uses popular means of communication to create works and reclaim the city as place for art.
