political st. talk now found all over the world to mexican mutinous. m. ah, some images make it into the history that ah, while others even wind up for sale on the arm market like the works of british st artist bank see during the corona virus pandemic, st houses have been spraying their reactions to the current situation. turning the walls of buildings into forums for public discourse. they have their origins in latin america in the history of mexico, around the time of the mexican revolution in the early 20th century, a new art form was born moore. ellis, mon. it picked up on the social demands of the revolution,

often painted on the walls of public buildings, murals depicted modern mexican valleys. to day, these works hang in a museum in mexico city. in world mommy, he cannot say little nickel. mural ism is the only mexican art movement to achieve international success and remain topical to this day. longer. people still speak about moralists mold, i'm most and blend. it's incredible that in the year 2021, we still have the same messages. it's as if these murals were completely contemporary on them. bought houses as aim was, we see the inequality between the social classes. when are there any barrington? what alleys, murals most moving theme, which has lost none of its power or controversy to this day is the struggle for power. but one of them began with what i'm in the esp luchella's. boyer, the mexican government of that era, turned to the greatest artists of the day, diego rivera, david alford osi carols, and jose clemente oroscoe. they were to convey revolutionary ideas by means of

public paintings, mexico's pri, hispanic, past all but forgotten during the centuries, the spanish colonial rule returned to the spotlight. this was art, which aimed to change the world. at that time, the majority of mexicans were illiterate. so those who commissioned the works thought people would understand pictures, modem, words, aren't acted as a facilitator at the moment that the ally line bins yonder been dull. this movement also intended to paint the walls of school ladder to introduce children and youths to revolutionary messages. for in that i will, neil is to place one, possess estella manila. ever since then, murals have been you have to convey political statements to the people employed to this very day, whatever's uniform. we have a deep connection to and direct relationship with murals. you know, a lot less. you'll need to call us body this back then mirrorless no, never emancipated itself from the state. many works glorified communist ideals. so in 1924, when public funding was withdrawn, the movement ran out of steam. ah,

this is the working class neighborhood of colonial doc tourists. in the 1970s, it was quite rundown. in 2014, the mexican government once again commissioned young artists to brighten up the quarter. both of them were elephant murphy, loyally lee's murals, were realised with total creative freedom or use on you and papa level the artist church, your themes by looking around the neighbourhood and painting things that give the people here a sense of belonging on both ambien causes cassandra it's a things that make people proud of their neighborhood channel isn't music, but obviously audible uses as they were in mexico is considered the birthplace of the, of an art movement. from here it spread through the rest of north america and europe before making its way around the world. st. tell it in all its facets is now an integral part of the global aren't seen. large format paintings which cover entire buildings a part of the flare of big city life. events like berlin's mural. fast transform,
