DukeEngage Colombia

We collaborate with women and families in Medellín to document their stories of displacement, violence, resilience, and rebuilding. Duke University students in the program DukeEngage Colombia have come every summer since 2007; this blog documents our process and reflections.

About DukeEngage Colombia

We are creating an alternative historical archive—medellín mi hogar, or my home medellín—of how the city of Medellin was really built, through the words and images of the women and families that built it. Since 2007, we've recorded over 600 stories, collected over 3,000 hours of footage, and created 50 short documentaries.

We collaborate with families who over the last 60 years have been building their communities in the city of Medellín. Thousands of these families came to Medellin because they were forced to flee their homes in rural communities due to violence—Colombia has the most internally displaced people in the world. In these documentaries, families tell their own stories of resilience in their own words and images. This project is about the power of storytelling to create social change, both within the storytellers’ communities and internationally.

DukeEngage is funded by grants from the The Duke Endowment and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
