From the Balso to the Cununo: A drawn conversation between Comunidad and Manuela Ochoa

We ask ourselves: How can music and culture support and transform displaced communities to strengthen their identity?
What does it mean to be a social leader in a country at war? 
We will explore these questions through drawings, words, and music.
