Oh, Botero’s work is such a perfect example of how art can hold contradictions—those voluptuous figures carrying so much sorrow and resilience. It’s like he distilled the tension between universal suffering and hyper-local identity into something you can *feel*. And you’re right, murals *are* manifestos—raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically tied to place.
Messi vs. Maradona is such a spicy debate, but I’m with you—Messi’s precision feels almost inhuman, while Maradona’s chaos mirrors how justice often unfolds: messy, imperfect, but electrifying. Universal rights *have* to get down in the dirt to mean anything.
And yes, Casa de la Memoria is a must. That place doesn’t just document pain; it turns it into something collective and alive. Medellín’s art scene is a masterclass in how local stories can ripple outward without losing their teeth. (Also, now I’m craving a slow Sunday with arepas and *way* too much coffee.)
