The Popular Artist Movement (Spanish: Movimiento de Artistas Populares, MAP) was a mass organization of the Communist Party of Peru-Shining Path formed in 1988. [1] Its purpose was to utilize artists to disseminate political propaganda to the population through the art of sloganeering, with particular attention to the universities. The MAP regularly incorporated folklore in its work. [2] Although the exact connection between Shining Path's central apparatus and MAP is disputed, with some considering it as an independent development from the party, the MAP was a contributing effort to the communists' protracted " people's war." [3]
MAP actions were carried out in universities, union halls, neighborhoods, cultural institutions and young towns. [1] Performances included theatrical performances, dance and music through sikuri groups. [3]
