Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection consists of 27 posters from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil from the 1980s and 1990s gathered by the architects and political activists, Flavio Cosme Gusatti and Sonia De Souza Gusatti. These posters address Workers Party propaganda (Partido dos Trabalhadores), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s presidential campaign, labor union meetings, agrarian reform, peasant rights, Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), liberation theology, and feminist movement in Brazil. The posters were collected in Ronda Alta, the town in which took place the first organized land occupation of MST at the encampment, Encruzilhada Natalino, in 1981. In the early 1980s, Ronda Alta was a town of small agrarian producers, but as development came along and with the end of military dictatorship in Brazil the town became an important space for peasant organizations and the rise of social movements. These posters represent a national period of struggle for social justice and political opening after twenty years of silence, dictatorship, and neoliberal policies.
