Chicago has been a major centre of Czech immigration to the United States
since the 1850s. Today, the district of Pilsen which those settlers founded
in the 19th century is decidedly Bohemian – in the sense of being offbeat
and arty – but predominately Mexican. In celebration of the two cultures,
students from the original Plzeň have installed street murals in its
namesake sister city, depicting Czech history and culture – with a Latino
flair.
