In the history of public life, Mauricio Funes is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Mauricio Funes as President of El Salvador from 2009 to 2014.
Mauricio Funes was born at San Salvador in 1959. His recorded nationality is El Salvador. He was educated at Central American University, San Salvador.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as politician and journalist.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
His work was formally recognised with the Maria Moors Cabot Prizes.
That the work was done from El Salvador matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Mauricio Funes died in 2025 at the age of 66. The work outlived the arguments around it.
