The implementation of actions that incentivizes cultural citizenry in the city of Rio de Janeiro is narrated in this thesis in the form of a diary. This work shows the daily labor routine that one would experience from the exchanges between the institutional environment of the City Hall and the cultural and political flows mobilized in the city. The public notices of Pontos de Cultura, Pontões de Cultura and Ações Locais formed, during the years of 2013 to 2015, a network of institutions and agents whose cultural and artistic activities were capable of promoting sensible transformations in the Carioca communities, especially in the peripheral neighborhoods. The formation of this network was made possible when the city had its features redesigned by the presence of bodies, practices and political speeches that crossed through each other in a concrete manner in the streets. The perception of this politics of presence emphasized the necessity of inventing and improving the posture of listening, dialogue and permeability between the State and its pulsing exterior. Furthermore, this singular moment of political experimentation expressed the possibility of establishing the city from the bottom up, or of positioning itself in a collective written process.
