Due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, we have taken measures to comply with the Brazilian authorities’ regulations and guidelines relative to social distancing and restrictions on crowding.

Our entire team is working from home. This scheme had already been partially adopted in January, when we started the renovation of our São Paulo headquarters to house the Cultural Center. Because the most important thing at the moment is to preserve everyone’s health and integrity, we are interrupting this work as of March 23 for an indefinite period.

Should you require any assistance, please contact us by e-mail or telephone. See how to get in contact with us.
