This
mural is part of a series of murals painted on the
wall outside of the house of former president Daniel
Ortega. The murals were painted as a demonstration
of protest against the destruction of murals. This
destruction continues to happen in Nicaragua today.
David Kunzle
describes how muralists came together to create the wall.
"The painters immediately converged upon the principal wall threatened,
which was decorated with what they called the Mural de la Dignidad,
a series of designs (none of them political) by a dozen different
artists, now covering close to a hundred meteres, intended to protect
Ortega both magically and physically.""
