Colombia is the country with the highest internal displacement in the world. Being a centralized country, a considerable percentage of this migration concentrates in the capital. Entre Nubes is a visual investigation of San German, an informal neighborhood located on the southern outskirts of Bogotá, next to the Entre Nubes nature reserve. Here, displaced families from all regions of Colombia, ethnic minorities, ex-militaries, and ex-guerrillas converge, revealing intricate testimonies from the country’s complicated story. Living in an “illegal” neighborhood implicates living in a marginal Bogotá, where the land is constantly disputed, the police doesn’t arrive and violence is often the first option for conflict resolution. Nevertheless, many of the people who live here are resilient and are determined to stand tall.
