Photo Essay: Revolutionary Walls

As part of a continuing interest in the development of the Bolivarian Revolution, I reproduce three recent articles on popular art from venezuelanalysis.com. This is the first, originally published here.


By Communicational Guerrilla cooperative

For two years, the cooperative Communicational Guerrilla has been painting murals on Caracas city walls using stencils and templates made from metal or other hard but economic materials. They cut the image, and sometimes text, into the material, then paint using spray cans.

Carlos Zerpa, a designer and member of the collective, told ABN that they began the collective out of the “necessity... to deepen the revolution and democratise knowledge.”

The collective also conducts workshops in the communities and schools so that others can learn the technique.
