This bi-lingual exhibition was put on display at Shorewood High School before traveling to the Walker Point Center for the Arts, in Milwaukee, WI, where student docents interpreted their exhibition for an audience of Spanish-speaking peers from a neighboring high school.

executive director of the Walker Point Center for the Arts… Ernesto Che Guevara-Hero or Terrorist? A multi-media installation at Walker’s Point Center for the Arts.
Mary Pat Clasen’s Shorewood High School Spanish Class has installed their final class project at Walker’s Point Center for the Arts. “Let the World Change You and You Can Change the World” an interactive multi-media installation will exhibit this week only at WPCA.
Clasen’s class takes a critical look at the life and times of Ernesto Che Guevara. In 1951-1952 Che took a trip through South America that changed the world. In this trip Che discovered the strong passion for the injustice that he encountered in each country where he traveled. How is it that a trip can change you so much? The installation interprets this question for today’s young people and explores the impact of the travels.
As one of the most recognizable images in the world, Clasen’s class asks the question: Does Che deserve this recognition?
