Mural of a landless rural worker painted by Brother (Frei) Daniel, 1998.
Although it shares with other murals the familiar iconography of the straw hat, the hoe, and the strings of barbed wire, this mural painted by Brother Daniel in 1998 differs from most in its depiction of the protagonist of the struggle for land as a rural working man, as opposed to the family, including men, women, and children. A sort of exception that highlights the new rule of agrarian activism led by the MST that stresses participation across gender and generation. (Photo donated by the MST)
