The first 13 days of October will mark the date when 13 sculptors from Mexico, Colombia and Costa Rica will meet to intervene in open-air public spaces and thus beautify our ever-growing city while making various statements.

In addition to the creation of sculptures, there will also be interesting lectures on “Art and sustainability”, “The importance of sculpture in public spaces”, “Contemporary art in Mexico” and “Helen Escobedo, Mexican sculptor”.
