Our experience in Latin America, summarized in the messianic Che graffiti stencil. Beautiful graffiti all around Bogota, especially near the universities.
Our dear friend on the delegation, James. A lutheran priest, and seminary professor who taught us how to have a good time. He LOVES hugs.
Trucksitting.
A most recent photo from the mountaintops near Cocora, Colombia. Tallest palms in the world, 60+ meters in height.
We all got cold and bought the same sweater from our friend Blanca. She measured us up with her hands, so warm.
Favorite graffiti activist artist. This is a fitting depiction of what we´ve learned in Colombia about multinationals, which reap the benefits of armed conflict and displacement, provide little to no benefit to the Colombian people, and ultimately result in environmental devastation.
The team in the campo. Most terrifying truck experience of our lives(?), which brought us to the small villages and farmers which have borne the brunt of fumigations, armed conflict, and violence.
