 PEACE GUARD LISBON


Shepard Fairey’s Peace Guard Lisbon mural is a faded, but still striking, piece. 

Fairey’s subject holds a gun with a flower in it, a symbolic reference to the Carnation Revolution in Portugal.

Named for the demonstrators who placed carnations in the muzzles of guns and on the soldiers' uniforms, the 1974 military coup and civil resistance campaign transitioned the country from a dictatorship to a democracy.
