Memory and heritage: reflections on traditional shops in curitibanos

Abstract

The virtual gallery is the result of an unfolding of the artist's plastic work, which has recreated twelve Curitiba commercial houses over fifty years old on a reduced scale, giving rise to mini-scenarios. These environments, called roomboxes, are the result of the 2004 Curitiba Culture Incentive Law. The artist chose to pay more attention to old establishments that preserve their history and new ones that set the scene as if they were from another era. The concepts of heritage, cultural heritage and resonance were adopted as a basis for thinking about the process of musealizing old businesses.
