I went to take care of some administrative matters at one of AUC's downtown buildings, which was bisected last month by one of the newest concrete walls downtown, and found this unusual sight. Other walls have become a public artspace, covered in colorful graffiti, political slogans, and even a few quotes from the Quran. The one on Faliki, however, has turned into a makeshift bike rack. Way to adjust to a changing urban landscape!
I'm working on a longer piece about this neighborhood, the walls, and how the neighborhood has adjusted to three months of on-and-off violence. Coming in a week or two!
