The 2nd edition of Hacia del Sur festival was organised by JPU, Daro and Klier from Eme Crew with permission from San Vicente Municipio with graffiti writers invited from different countries including Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay to take part in the event. Despite the rain showers, the talented artists were able to transform the grey concrete walls of the underpass into a real open air art gallery with some eye-catching characters and pieces.
