 Ramona Parra was a young woman, who was shot and killed in Santiago Chile in 1940 during a strike/  protest march against a new government. She was a member of the JJCC (Chilean Communist Youth League) and after her death she became a martyr symbol of the Chilean struggle against oppression.  From that day on her name lives on through the underground art movement that decorates the streets of Santiago with illegal art and political propaganda in favour of human rights. The arts collective that calls itself the Brigada Ramona Parra(BRP) travels the world making murals protesting against the global tendency towards capitalism.
