and around the same time, Andre Breton came to Mexico City, where they composed a manifesto for #art against fascism, capitalism, and Stalinism : https://www.marxists.org/subject/art/lit_crit/works/rivera/manifesto.htm

(and neither Frida nor Trotsky signed it; it's attributed to Trotsky and Breton, but it was Rivera and Breton whose names are on it)

and it's a glorious document that Breton took back to Europe to open chapters of the International Federation of Independent Revolutionary Art <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifesto_for_an_Independent_Revolutionary_Art>

but it didn't last very long.

In the spirit of continuous revolution, is it time for the Next International Federation of Independent Revolutionary Art ?
