Blood, Paint and Politics.
In the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution, a new kind of battlefield emerged—not with rifles and sabers, but with brushes and paint. This episode dives into the powerful world of post-revolutionary muralists like Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, who transformed blank walls into bold manifestos of history, struggle, and hope.
Through their art, they confronted injustice, challenged authority, and gave voice to the people. Join us as we explore how paint became protest, murals became movements, and politics stained every stroke of color across Mexico’s walls.
