From the Calton Weavers - the trade union martyrs of 1787 - to the miners' strike of 1985, Ken Currie has completed a series of murals from Scottish working-class history for the People's Palace in Glasgow.
The scale and commitment of the work is rare in Britain, but follows the tradition of the great Mexican political muralist Diego Rivera.
As a major retrospective of Rivera's work opens in London, Paul Allen reports.
