π¨π§‘ Paint the most transformed neighbourhood in the Americas - Comuna 13 in MedellΓn at golden hour
Coral. Turquoise. Mustard. Pink. Houses stacked in a tumbling patchwork up the steep hillside, blazing street-art murals covering every wall, orange outdoor escalators zigzagging up the cerro, and the AburrΓ‘ valley glowing amber in the distance. Comuna 13 is MedellΓn at its loudest, boldest and most joyful β the neighbourhood that went from the most dangerous corner of the world to one of Latin America's most powerful stories of urban rebirth. And it is your painting.
Turn up the reggaeton. Let the sun go down. Let the brush find the coral. Paint it on your iPad or print it and paint on canvas β both are included.

β¨ A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
Comuna 13 clings to the steep western hills of MedellΓn β an informal settlement built through the 1980s by families displaced from the Colombian countryside during the armed conflict. By the late 1990s, it was considered one of the most dangerous urban zones on Earth, controlled by armed groups and cut off from the rest of the city by geography and fear. Everything changed in 2011, when the city built a set of six outdoor public escalators β the first of their kind in the world β climbing 384 metres up the hillside, connecting the neighbourhood to the metro in six minutes instead of a 35-minute climb. Young artists from the barrio, led by the Casa Kolacho collective, began covering the walls with vast murals telling the story of what the community had survived and what it was becoming. Today Comuna 13 is one of the most visited neighbourhoods in Colombia β a UNESCO-recognised model of social urbanism, where hip-hop, breakdance and street art turned a warzone into an open-air museum. Every colour on those walls is a story about a neighbourhood that refused to disappear.
