Artistic Manifesto of Ecuadorian Muralism

The Artistic Manifesto of Ecuadorian Muralism was a movement advocating for public art that reflects Ecuador’s cultural identity, history, and social issues. It emphasized creating large, accessible murals as a means for artists to engage directly with communities, promote social change, and celebrate national pride. Rooted in both modernist and indigenous traditions, the manifesto encouraged artists to use their work as a voice for collective identity and social consciousness, making art a powerful tool for education, dialogue, and cultural expression accessible to all citizens.
