00:26from Venezuela on the move details with Alvaro Fragua from Caracas the walls of Caracas speak
00:33with every stroke their artists reclaim history struggles and popular memory here art is not hung
00:39in galleries it is experienced on every corner we try to make the wall speak to make the walls
00:45tell a story to make the walls inspire us and at the same time shape us as citizens because many
00:51people are unaware of their history and also we work in many community spaces so there are
00:57spaces that are dedicated to children or rather to free play and imagination there are hundreds
01:03of murals but Victor advocates for a city free of gentrification insisting that space should not
01:08be placed at the service of tourists he also highlights the solidarity of peoples against
01:13imperialism so we are reflecting here what the struggle is and the support as Venezuelans for
01:19the Palestinian struggle because the Palestinian struggle is our struggle from Bolivar Square the
01:25historical heart of the city one can understand the blend of past present and future that defines
01:30Caracas despite the daily threats from the US administration you can feel the tranquility in
01:35the air Caracas has been a city with its people which has had peace and inner peace but is always alert to
01:47any circumstance that may arise in other words today we are in this moment calm

02:03fight back after the necessary stop to enjoy one of the best coffees in the world we climbed up to the popular

02:58between sweet corn and salty cheese makes cachapa one of the most beloved dishes among Caracas residents
03:04but there are many more unforgettable recipes well for my taste the rib soup or the chicken soup which
03:14is the most familiar and the arepas which should not be missing from the Venezuelan table and therefore
