ARMED with a BRUSH

Synopsis
The BRP originated in 1968 as a propaganda department of the JJCC (Juventudes Comunistas de Chile, Chilean Communist Youth League). As a young group, they supported the democratically elected President Salvador Allende.
The early members of the Brigada Ramona Parra (named after a political activist assassinated in Santiago in 1946) painted verbal messages on strategically placed walls of the capital to communicate their views in support of democracy and equality. Their art form evolved into colorful murals depicting symbols of what they have always believed to be basic human rights while lashing out against totalitarian regimes and social inequalities.
