Coming from NYC and traveling the world, I’ve seen a lot of amazing street art (in Istanbul, London, Copenhagen and Athens, just to name a few); it’s my favorite kind of art. There’s always so much history behind every piece. So whenever I travel, I make it a point to try and explore the street art culture wherever I go.
These pics are from Comuna 13, once known as the most dangerous neighborhood in #Medellin. Although it has completely reinvented itself, Comuna 13 used to be the center of criminal activity due to several factors: (1) overpopulation, (2) low socio-economic region, and (3) a convenient location near a highway that provided easy access to drugs, gang activity and guns. After many violent events, which have been widely documented, in 2002, citizens began to express their concern for the violence though community gatherings and the display of street art. The street art, which depicted images of white flags represented an appeal for peace ✌️. The transformation of the neighborhood has been slow, but has not gone unnoticed. Just like Medellin, which was crowned The Most Innovative City in 2012 after years of turmoil, Comuna 13 has evolved as well. Residents don’t seem to be afraid to leave their homes and there are children playing in the streets. During my visit, it was really cool to observe people dancing , shop keepers selling everything from empanadas to mango ice cream (which was so so so good), and a general vibe of calm. I know that Comuna 13 is a touristy area, but that doesn’t take away from its rich history and amazing transformation. I definitely enjoyed my visit to Comuna 13. Have you been? What’s your favorite city for street art?
