art crimes "Since they didn't have newspapers to speak about how they saw the world, they would take over the walls and use them as newspapers or to speak specifically about people who were 'missing'. The layers of writing were always interesting to me. In one case, a neighborhood had been forced to paint over a consigna [watchword or password] with white paint. Then someone had scratched into the white paint 'Monimbo [a neighborhood in Managua] will never surrender' so that the original paint came through. And then on top of that: 'Where is Norman Gonzales? The dictatorship must answer.' So it's like the walls are this constant dialogue."

as said by Susan Meiselas, photographer in Nicaragua

epitome of incomprehensibility My mom had a book on her bookshelf called "Solidarity with the People of Nicaragua."

I liked the rhythm of the phrase before I knew what "solidarity" meant.
