About a book fair being held in Peru:

Trujillo es una ciudad con una rica y vasta tradición en el arte y las letras que se inicia con la cultura Moche, se afianza a comienzos del siglo XX con el grupo literario Norte y continúa con un movimiento plástico de amplia repercusión en nuestros días.

Not sure about this one, is it plastic arts movement?

Even though I don't think it will ever stop sounding strange to me and I'm yet to hear it used, looking at the definitions this is a perfectly valid term.

Oxford

"plástico: [literatura] (descripción) vivid, evocative; (estilo) expressive"

Will, this is how "plástico" is translated in the field of literatura. Based on your sentence, I would tend to go to the first answer, that is "expressive" as in an "expressive movement."

Liz (thanks Liz!) came up with one of them -- but there was another one, I'm sure -- between the 2 of them you should find what you need.
