This projection on the impressive monument was a clear sign that things are changing and where you least expect to find artistic performances that move us. Definitely, this was a defining moment for the Peruvian artists, because after this experience José Carlos Reyna stay in front of a group, composed of the best visual artists, with the mission of proposing and activate the visual art scene.
