Web Serial - Taking Politics to the Street

  • 10 years ago
In today's program, hosted by Stephanie Kennedy, we start off in Brazil, where in Sao Paulo artist-activists are bringing politics to the streets, placing visual reminders in spots were militants were killed by the military dictatorship in the 1960s and 1970s to ensure that the country's official history includes the history of its victims; then to the town of Jaimanita outside of Havana where artist José Fuster has transformed the fishing village by taking his unique mosaic sculptures and other works, many with political themes, to parks, gardens, buildings, and public venues; and finally to Chile, where painting wall murals with political messages and demands for justice has long been a tradition. teleSUR.
