Call for participation
We invite the public in general and the global community of artists to intervene our public space, writing up short stories to be performed in front of the security camera system of the city of Medellin, Colombia (107 cameras aprox), an event which instead of looking for crime, insecurity and violence will pretend to bring all other stories to stage.
