It seems laden with meaning, but I have no idea what any of it means.
Are the masks because they're hiding their identities or a response to cultural expectations?
Are they knitting rainbows as a queer symbol or are they literally creating the rainbows for the world upon which they kneel?
They're hiding their identities as a cultural norm, but it's difficult to explain unless you're already familiar with the Zapatistas. Here's an excerpt of a documentary this mural was featured in -- still looking for the full video online.
Thanks for that! I knew absolutely nothing about the Zapatistas.
