Che, like never seen before

Here's your chance to glance through Che Guevara pictures that haven't made to it search engines and t-shirts

Cuban Revolution, the turning point in world history, continues to inspire young minds. On T-shirts, as hangings or simply on our status messages, we love flaunting that we idolise Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, the major figures of the revolution that ended in the defeat of US-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista on January 1, 1959.



Post the revolution, in the summer of 1964, Mexican photographer Rodrigo Moya travelled to Cuba to capture the pulse of victory and reconstruction of the Cuban system. The clicks, from today, are on display under the name of Cuba M ufffda or My Cuba.u00a0

Account summary
The photography exhibition is like a pictorial tour to the initial years of the spectacular revolution. Eighty photographs, in black and white, are bound by the theme of education, employment, music, dance, Che Guevara, the forces and commerce -- the defining pulse of participating rebels.

The exhibition is the property of Casa de la Am ufffdrica and it came to the public eye for the first time in 2009 after remaining untouched for forty five years. "The showcased photographs are the symbol of a prosperous revolution, and the pictures reflect the spirit of a new Cuba, a region full of hope and riding high on victory," points out Nitesh Gurbani of Instituto Cervantes, the host venue.

A class shooter
For over five decades, the 84-year-old photographer continues to document the social reforms that mark Latin America. Though Rodrigo's father gifted him a camera after finishing high school, Rodrigo used it only when he couldn't perform wonderfully during engineering and had to generate interest in photography to earn a living.

Some of the rarely seen works, which are a part of the exhibition, have been taken from across the table where Che is seen animatedly talking to the photographer and then very quietly taking out his trademark Cuban cigar.
