Artistic Expression in the Fight for Social and Political Rights in Latin America

Latin American art has always played an important role in the fight for social and political rights in the region. During the military dictatorships that plagued many Latin American countries in the 1960s and 1970s, artists used their art to denounce repression and violence.

Today, art remains a powerful form of political expression in Latin America. Many artists use their work to draw attention to issues such as social inequality, violence against women.
