Mexican Artist Pedro Reyes Transforms Firearms into Musical Instruments

In an art studio in Mexico city - a city synonymous with drugs and violent crime - there is an artist transforming weapons into art. An electric guitar is made out of  pieces of guns, clips from AK 47’s barrels, rifles, and 9 mm pistols. It's the art project and inspiration of Pedro Reyes, a trained architect who is taking power over the violence in his country by transforming weapons into something harmless but still powerful.  Reyes' art collection, "Disarm," and his reputation for socially-minded, collaborative and participatory artworks are making waves in Mexico City and beyond.
