Alfaiataria is a space for research and interdisciplinary art practices. Here there are activities of training, theater, dance, video performances, music, soiree, exhibitions and conversations. In addition to the program designed and organized by the artists Janaina Matter, Luana Navarro and Guilherme Jaccon, Alfaiataria also welcomes projects and actions proposed by artists from other contexts.

With more than 80 years the building that houses Alfaiataria is located in Rua Riachuelo, 274, the official first street in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Founded in 1932 by Guilherme Matter, tailor and painter, Alfaiataria was focused on making military uniforms, having been the only specialized in this type of clothing for decades.

In the 1990s the store became well-known in the circuit of theater artists, punk bands and the LGBT community who sought out the store to buy coats and vintage accessories. At the beginning of 2017, after 85 years of operation the store ended its activities.

Since then, the space has undergone a process of demilitarization and has been transformed into an art/ cultural space, which has meant for us a place of resistance to  strengthen the ways of living and thinking the world, in the urgency of diversity, of sensitivity, affection, dialogue and artistic and political responsibility as a constant practice that takes place in and for the city.
