Description

This mural is near the City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, California, USA.
The mural is a reproduction of one that was painted by a Mayan community in Chiapas, Mexico and was destroyed by the Mexican Army in a military raid on their village in April 1998. Although the original mural was destroyed, photos of it have been preserved and shared. Shortly after the invasion of the village, the international witnesses to the invasion began a campaign to reproduce the mural in sites around the world as a gesture of support for the indigenous peoples’ struggle for justice with dignity. Thus far, the mural has been painted in Barcelona, Madrid and Bilbao, Spain; Florence, Italy; Mexico City, Oakland, and San Francisco, California.
