On Rivera's 'Detroit Industry': community beyond knowledge

The Mexican muralist Diego Rivera's work is highlighted. 'Detroit Industry' is a work about the nature of community construction which depicts a car factory in Detroit in the early 1930s, the labor processes that are involved in the production of the car and the community's labor that sustains and reproduces itself. River looks at the rigidities of territories and the lines that cross over them, and finds a way to create a new whole within a space that is divided.
