For the second intervention carried out at the 2015 Medellín International Art Meeting, the artist and architect Mattia Paco Rizzi was invited to analyze and intervene in the context of the transformation of the Conquistadores neighborhood with the Parques del Río project. Based on the importance of the graphic sign as a representation of communication in all languages, Rizzi creates a new language to dialogue about the use of public space with the inhabitants of the sector, formalized through twelve ideograms made of wood that were installed in the park like easels that invited the community to create outdoors.
