is
foreign
[Music]
in many cases the communities decided
that they were not going to just stay
there and accept that reality that they
were living and they took leadership
also to begin doing little actions
within their neighborhoods that made a
whole difference
the people started expressing their
feelings and art has always been there
for that you go to art when you are
either feeling super good or when you're
down also when you're going through
struggles
and a lot of writers for example they
created their best pieces in times of
struggle
and maybe that's why the city had so
much inspiration because of its history
because of all it went through
[Music]
we had some very strong referrals from
the past
like potato
no one can ignore that this is fernando
potero's city that this is where he was
born and that's why we have i would say
the largest open museum with his
sculptures available for anyone who just
want to take a stroll to the center of
the city
[Applause]
[Music]
that helped changing the way of life of
all these people because when you don't
have to spend two hours in traffic to
get to work you can use that time to
spend with your children or to
involve in arts
the city continue
reinventing itself because today you
pass through a street and this become a
very familiar scene and tomorrow you
come and it's something completely new
[Music]
whatever you've heard about medellin is
not enough
you have to come and experience it
yourself let the city surprise you
[Applause]
[Music]
