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 destruction of murals. This destruction
continues to happen in Nicaragua today. To the right
is an image of a Sandinista soldier above this mural.
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 meters, intended
to protect Ortega both magically and physically."
