David Alfaro Siqueiros- Torment of Cuauhtémoc and Apotheosis:
A diptych that represents the impact of the Mexico colonization. Siqueiros said on the opening day "Is a song to Cuauhtémoc and an image of the struggle this week civilizations had to support."

Diego Rivera - Russian Revolution:
Leon Trotsky lived few years Mexico. He formed in Mexico a circle of followers and developed a deep friendship with prominent nationals like Diego Rivera.
Jose Clemente Orozco - Katharsis:
A critique to the degradation of the society and class division, in the capitalism. It is a critique but also a warning. For us to think on redemption. His proposal is to destroy first to be reborned and renewed (this is what the fire means).
