Portugal Murais de abril - Revolução 25 de abril 74

The overthrow of the dictatorship in Portugal, on April 25, 1974, created a celebratory atmosphere in the country. This celebration of freedom – and in freedom – was experienced from north to south of the country, translating into an authentic explosion of artistic creativity and political activism, which has (and maintains) mural painting as an icon.
Painted in various public spaces, the murals became a means of communication during the years of the Revolution. Because they are easily accessible and have a wide reach, they were the channel chosen by parties from across the ideological spectrum, activists and artists to convey political, social and cultural messages.

The murals displayed messages against the Estado Novo dictatorship, celebrating freedom, and calling for solidarity among the Portuguese people, in different social and political groups. The compositions included, among others, symbolic images, political slogans or portraits of relevant historical and political figures. These interventions in public spaces became a significant form of popular mobilization and awareness, given that in Portugal at that time illiteracy was over 20% (in 1970, 25.7% of Portuguese people could not read or write, which was equivalent to 1.8 million people).
