Acción Poética is an artistic movement at the intersection of visual art, poetry, and social practice that was started by the Mexican poet Armando Alanís Pulido in Monterrey back in 1996. Since then, this phenomenon involving painting and intervening on city walls with fragments of poetry has been adopted all over Latin America.
Acción Poética Portland was formed by Ariana Rosales, Carlos Esparza, and Miguel Rodriguez. We aim to adapt and bring this rich tradition to the Metro Area as Acción Poética Portland.
