Mexican Murals in Times of Crisis

The book explores the evolution and significance of mural arts in Mexico post-revolution, highlighting the contributions of contemporary artists often overlooked in favor of historical figures like Rivera and Siqueiros. It documents various mural practices, including fixed-site murals and graffiti, demonstrating their role in shaping collective identities amid Mexico's ongoing socio-political challenges. Through ethnographic and sociological lenses, the author argues for the relevance and resilience of these murals in public life, countering the notion that the mural tradition has faded.
