Founders of Plataforma Explode! is a platform that researches and experiments with notions of gender, race and class, based on socially perceived peripheral artistic and cultural practices, also crossing fields like pedagogy and social justice. It carries out immersive practices, which emphasize the coexistence and debate of important subjects for these groups. Represented by the artists, researchers and curators Cláudio Bueno and João Simões, it is organized through a national and international network of collaborators.
