Mural-Graffiti in Medellín

The article shares partial results of an ongoing research project on street art in the context of transitional justice in Colombia. It focuses on a case I describe as a mural-graffiti produced in Medellín at the beginning of this year, which invites us to understand the territory as an interconnected network of historical practices of territorialization linked to narco-territory, necro-territory, and anthropogenic territory. This mural-graffiti also fights for the transformation of territory into an ethical network of historical relationships.

Abstract

The article shares partial results of an ongoing research project on street art in the context of transitional justice in Colombia. It focuses on a case I describe as a mural-graffiti produced in Medellín at the beginning of this year, which invites us to understand the territory as an interconnected network of historical practices of territorialization linked to narco-territory, necro-territory, and anthropogenic territory. This mural-graffiti also fights for the transformation of territory into an ethical network of historical relationships.
