“In 2002, the Comuna 13 in Medellin was a bloody battleground. A merciless war opposed the military forces of Colombia, and extreme right wing paramilitaries fought against left wing groups and guerrillas. Today, the resilience of the inhabitants of the Comuna and the fierce desire to forge a long-lasting peace is expressed through the city’s graffiti and street art. The colourful walls and the powerful messages have now replaced the bullets and the despair”
