no

The security guards will only say the word "no".

We know how complicated warning is. Notices around the exhibition, staff who have to tell us at all times what is forbidden, even customs that seem obvious to us are subverted day after day, regardless of the efforts made to warn and instruct.

We'd like to ask: what if the answer is always "No"? We understand that hearing "No" educates and raises awareness that there are limits that respect is a requirement, that there is a need to adapt. Likewise, we offer this technique, improved over time by families and schools, to the art world with the service No.

It works like this: our security guards won't say anything other than the word "no". For any question, any interaction, the veto will be the answer. No matter if they've been asked where the restroom is or which way out of the building, visitors will know that there are limits. He/she certainly won't break any rules, since he/she won't be allowed to do anything.

Amador e Jr. Segurança Patrimonial Ltda.: the answer is "No".
