Artwork by Maria José Alba in response to the story of Oscar's assassination:
"Security to study, freedom to live".
To the right of the poster, is a quotation from one of Oscar's own poems, reproduced on his memorial in Santiago:
"How terrible is indifference
how terrible it is to live for oneself
how terrible it is not to have hope
how terrible it is not to dream".
At the bottom, it cites Consuelo's poem (Barren Walls/Las Paredes Yermas):
"El espanto súbito te nubló la razón
Y corrieron por tu espalda
Rojas estrellas que enfriaron tu cuerpo tibio....
Te fuiste con ellas a iluminar otras mundos".
"The sudden horror clouded your reason
And along your back red stars ran
They cooled your warm body....
You went with them to light up other worlds".
Below the main image is the chant, "El pueblo unido, jamas sera vencido" - The people, united, will never be defeated.
[Consuelo Rivera Fuentes]
