      Entre todos os seus professores e participantes, a queixa era a mesma entre a dezena deles: desde que a exposição anual Terra rasgada (o significado de Sorocaba, em tupi-guarani) se extinguiu por força de gestões políticas descontinuadoras dos processos de cultura, a visitação artística restringiu-se a frequentar e seguir apenas a agenda cultural da capital.
      Among all its teachers and participants, the complaint was the same among their dozens: since the Terra rasgada (the meaning of Sorocaba, in Tupi-Guarani) anual exposition was terminated by force of political management that discontinues cultural processes, the artistic viewing was limited to visiting and following the capital’s cultural agenda only.
