Reminiscences of Communism...!!
Long before Biennale became popular and frescoes adorned the walls of Kochi, communism had its red painted all over, with many national and international comrade's faces. Such wall arts are a rarity these days with most of them confined to the dilapidated inner walls of old reading rooms, libraries and party offices. A couple of them can be found while you stroll along the by-lanes of Fort Kochi.
Comrade Santo Gopalan memorial library and reading room, Fort Kochi. February 2015.
