Government-Sponsored Graffiti in Venezuela

The Venezuelan government has sponsored graffiti artists to tag the Caracas with their art. Graffiti artists have put up a wide range of political images, from tagging to strong political images. The government's Ministry of Communes has arranged these groups of street artists. Many of the political images glorify Hugo Chavez and put down the United States and associated political figures.
Here is the link to see some of the images:http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2010/04/12/world/20110412VENEZ_index.html
