24 de Junio: Día del Campesino
One sheet is a famous political propaganda poster titled “24 de Junio: Día del Campesino” (June 24: Day of the Peasant). Historical Context The poster was designed between 1968 and 1973 during the military dictatorship of General Juan Velasco Alvarado in Peru. Velasco's regime launched a massive, radical Agrarian Reform (promulgated on June 24, 1969) to dismantle the traditional, oppressive landlord (hacienda) system and redistribute land directly to indigenous farmworkers.As part of this social overhaul, Velasco officially renamed the historic "Día del Indio" (Day of the Indian) to "Día del Campesino" to instill a sense of citizenship and labor pride. The text in the speech bubble reads: "Somos libres, la revolución nos está dando la tierra" ("We are free, the revolution is giving us the land"). Artistic StyleThe poster was created by influential Peruvian graphic designer Jesús Ruiz Durand. Durand pioneered a highly unique aesthetic known as "Pop-Achorado". This style intentionally combined:High-art international trends like Pop Art and Op Art (vibrant, saturated psychedelic colors and half-tone dot patterns).Comic book conventions (bold black outlines and text bubbles). National indigenous motifs and working-class figures to make revolutionary propaganda widely accessible, visually modern, and appealing to the masses.
