Description
These amusing stencil spray paint graffiti figures of Ernesto "Che" Guevara appeared on some walls in La Paz, Bolivia for a few weeks. El Che was an Argentinian medical student who became a left wing revolutionary as the result of the poverty and harsh conditions he saw while traveling through Latin America as a student. He was Fidel Castro's 2nd in command during the Cuban Revolution and held several important posts in the Cuban government. He was executed by the Bolivian military on 9th October 1967. He has become something of a hero and icon to left wing movements worldwide and face is often seen all over Latin America. Less reverent versions are also widespread.
