I would second this. Graffiti can be a great way to get the message out and to
spread the word. Latin America has a much more developed graffiti culture than
North America. It is much more acceptable. Even the mainstream political
parties do it. In some countries, every wall in the city is covered with
graffiti. I've seen dates, times and places advertising riots written in spray
paint.
How about in Vallegrande:
Che alive like they never wanted you.
