[Che Guevara] — Two posters

Tania[Berkeley]: np, [1974]. Offset. 22 1/2 x 16 in. Extremities lightly bumped, otherwise a nice, clean copy.&nbsp;Poster of "Tania," Patty Hearst's nom de guerre in the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA).&nbsp;Patty Hearst was the granddaughter of the real-life Citizen Kane, the U.S. news magnate William Randolph Hearst. In February 1974, the small urban-guerilla group known as the SLA kidnapped the 19-year-old Hearst from her Berkeley apartment in a strategic maneuver. But just two months after her abduction, she released an audiotape declaring that she had joined the guerilla group and adopted the name Tania — an homage to the alias of Che Guevara's insurgent comrade, Tamara Bunke.She made national news for taking part in the SLA’s bank robberies, gunfights, and heists, and became a fugitive. Nineteen months after her abduction, she was arrested and sentenced to prison in a highly publicized trial, during which her defense pleaded brainwashing by the SLA. Upon her release from prison in 1979, she married her bodyguard police officer, wrote a memoir, and by 1990, she began featuring in a series of five films directed by John Waters.&nbsp;These posters were rapidly produced in Berkeley following the circulation of an image showing Hearst's participation in the SLA. The posters were hung all over the Bay Area in solidarity, not so much with the disorganized aims of the SLA, but rather for the unlikely image of Hearst committing class suicide ... or something."I'm Tania. Up, up, up against the wall, motherfuckers!"Condition as described in catalogue note.
