“This year the Festival will have its first virtual edition but also an offer strengthened and enriched with the lessons of the pandemic. The participation of Grupo Argos and the allies has been fundamental to give continuity to this project of urban culture that is giving new visions to our young people and that has allowed social and aesthetic transformations very important for Medellín and the country”.
