Description of initiative

Within the framework of the palliative measures adopted by the Government of Canelones, the Directorate of Culture transforms the waiting rooms of the vaccination centers into exhibition halls. The interventions are carried out through photographic samples and texts by different Canarian artists. The artists registered through an electronic form that allowed them to have a survey and generate an artistic-cultural proposal according to the expertise of each one. Thus, people who go to the vaccination centers had the possibility to enjoy various images and texts and to empathize with the stories behind the cultural content. Alejandra and Guillermo are photographers for Las Piedras and Parque del Plata and both participated in the initiative, by immersing the participants through their images into the historical commercial past of Pedrense and in Frida Kahlo's live.
