Bogot\u00e1,\nColombia (La Calandria)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning about the city and the\nhistory behind its existence was important to understand why people use the\narts as a form of resistance. The mixture of diversity of the country that made\nit rich in knowledge but is one of the big problems with the country as well.\nThis often bleeds into the diversity of musical genres throughout the country.\nThe bio-diversity with the country is something that makes Colombia a rich\nplace, but it caused a lot of division between different parts of the country\ndue to the Andes, which made communication hard and forced separation between\nthem and allowed corruption to happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Visiting the Museo Claustro D San\nAgust\u00edn was really impactful for me because it is a place that houses photos\nand documents that captures pivotal moments in Colombia\u2019s history. Which are needed\nbecause without documentation or record of these moments they would be brushed\nunder the rug and silenced. Which would allow for the continuation of\ndestruction to these diverse communities. But with these tangible pieces of\noppression people are able to speak to the injustice and this is often done\nthrough protest and artistic expression, which allows them to fight for their\nrights and reinforce their culture and not let the powers at play dictate the\nway they should live and express themselves to align with the ideologies of\nthose powers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            For me meeting LAP 24\/7, which are a\nmusical group was really cool and impactful for me and I had a great time\nlistening to their music. Being able to hear their stories and gain an\nunderstanding of the struggles of people who are victims of the violence go\nthrough was really powerful. In the cases of Juan and Andres they were able to\nmake it out of their hard situations using music as a tool to facilitate that.\nThe way they use their life experiences to curate music that is critical of\ntheir environment I think is an important part of resistance to show people\nthat their stories and struggles won\u2019t be silenced. This shows other kids like\nthemselves that there is another option and that they don\u2019t have to fall into the\ntraps of the streets (drugs\/ gangs). Their use of Hip-Hop in combination of\ntheir lyrics is very powerful, captivating and make their mission even more inspiring.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
