> When I was in Bogotá last year, I met a Venezuelan man selling art ... Many of his pieces were portraits of people who crossed the Darién fleeing Venezuela.

Maybe I'm missing something.

Folks are fleeing Venezuela. They pass thru Columbia and crossed the Darién into Panama.

How did the guy in Bogotá meet people who crossed the Darién?

Edit: Never mind. I think you meant: portraits of people who were going to cross the Darién, now having fled Venezuela.

I don't think he met any of the people in the portraits personally. He said he learned of these people and their stories through social media, at least the ones we talked about.
