A diagram of the interplay of players, spaces and strategies operating in Comuna 13 - a favela-like community situated on the mountainous edge of Medellin, Colombia. The drawing summarizes my research conducted in this community, including reflections made in the process of painting graffiti murals, assisting with street art tours, hip hop shows, workshops at local schools and conversations with leaders, artists and residents. Key data is obtained from Medellin Laboratory.
