This mural reflects the varied realities of life in Central America - poverty, violence, and war - celebrations of music and culture and redistributed land. The mural was originally painted in 1984, during the Central American wars and was intended to both call attention to the wars and to oppose the U.S. government’s intervention. The artists aimed to create a symbol of solidarity, love, and respect for the people of Central America. This mural is part of an artistic effort named "Placa", which painted murals along a one block alley in the Mission District of San Francisco and transformed a neglected barrio alley into an outdoor art gallery.
