Title:

Projeto Popular. "Popular Project: Say No to the Foreign Debt", outdoor mural signed by 12 artists, 2000.
An outdoor mural signed by 12 artists marks a popular referendum on Brazil’s foreign debt, organized by the MST in partnership with other social movements in 2000. Urging a vote against payment of the debt, the mural portrays the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the multinational lending and collection agency led by the United States, as a continuation of colonialism.

Mural Painting
Murals, conceived of and painted collectively, have become important as allegorical representations of the defining themes of state and national level congresses of the MST. They also draw upon and strengthen the symbols of the MST.
