A narrow alley opens onto a riot of color and sound — spray-painted murals climb the hillside, while the metrocable hums above, lifting riders over stacked houses and steep green slopes. A guide leads the way, pausing at a mural to explain a story of displacement, resistance and renewal; footsteps on concrete mix with distant vendor calls and the clack of escalator steps.
