An intimate and honest portrayal of the overlooked communities of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The spaces where the villas can be found were, until very recently, left blank on maps, yet their associations with crime and poverty are well-known and often perpetuated by local media. Tourists visiting Buenos Aires are often warned not to wander into the villas. But in reality, these are vibrant hubs where people get by on wits and ingenuity. Where everything they have, they make: from buildings to power lines to sewage systems. And where the marginalized of society come together to form diverse, self-governing communities.
