Chilean refugees to restore 40-year-old hidden mural
WORK has begun restoring a mural discovered behind plaster on a wall at Leeds University created by political refugees who fled Chile after the 1973 military coup.
Socialists and trade unionists across Britain welcomed Chileans fleeing imprisonment and torture following the coup that saw the overthrow of the elected socialist government of president Salvador Allende, taking them into their homes and helping create long-term accommodation and work.
In 1976 a group of them created the mural, which was around the theme “work for all.”
