The exhibition, which brings together the work of various visual poets, consists of 15 billboards placed along 110 kilometers starting from Curacaví, Chile. This project is organized by the urban art gallery Metro21 with funding from the National Fund for Cultural Development and the Arts (Fondart). It will be on display along the highway from April 15 to May 15 of this year, creating an artistic journey meant to be appreciated at speed.
