The Eufrasio’s Correia Square, in front of Estação Shopping Center – a historic point of Curitiba, hosts a group of people that lives their urban routine in a different way. People that pass by may notice their alternative clothes style as well as their peacefull manner of selling their goods. They are the new hippie generation that is conquering space on the main city of Paraná.

Deni sells his handicrafts in different places around downtown. Sometimes he stays at Eufrasio’s Correia Square, and other times at XV de Novembro
