I absolutely love seeing expressions by street artists in geographic areas that sometimes are left out from those offers of spontaneity and appropriation of spaces that shape our identities and memories. Recently Ark visited San Bernardo del Viento, a fishing community of families who’ve been victims of displacement due to political violence prevalent in some parts of Colombia.

This mural beautifully narrates a story of a culture that needs to bind themselves to their traditions and seek strenght in the unity that has saved their lives in previous experiences.
