    Chico (born 1985/1986) is the pseudonym of an anonymous Egyptian street artist and graffiti artist whose work has gained popularity and notoriety in Egypt following the 2011 Egyptian Revolution.

    Career and artwork

    Chico claims not to have studied art formally, although he now teaches it. He has said that he has always been "interested in graffiti and stencils in particular." Chico has stated that he works with stencils because they are "fast and safe." During the days of the revolution, he and fellow Egyptian graffiti artist El Teneen spray painted stencils on surfaces in public spaces, such as lampposts and walls, in downtown Cairo. However, these stencils were often quickly identified by security forces and removed, sometimes within minutes.

    Since the 2011 revolution, Chico's work has been noted for its political content and criticism of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, or SCAF, which as ruled the country since the February, 2011 resignation of former president Housni Mubarak. He said during the February revolution that contemporary political events had led to the politicization of his artwork, stating that "[m]y work has not always addressed the political situation. I have expressed a variety of issues, including social grievances, on the streets of Cairo and Alexandria. But the Egyptian government does not want to differentiate between political and non-political messages. They are not welcomed by the government, regardless of the topic."

    Chico (cat)

    Chico (1995-2012) is a cat who is the narrator of an authorized biography of Pope Benedict XVI.

    The illustrated children's book is entitled Joseph e Chico: Un gatto racconta la vita di Papa Benedetto XVI. The Italian original has been translated into English as Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told By a Cat.

    The character of Chico is based on a real cat, a tabby, who lived in the town of Pentling, Germany, where Joseph Ratzinger had lived for 20 years before moving to Rome as a Cardinal.

    Chico was born on April 15, 1995.

    The book was written by Jeanne Perego and illustrated by Donata Dal Molin Casagrande. It has an introduction by the Rev. Georg Gänswein, the Pope's personal secretary.

    Where are you now Chico?
    Can you see if the world is changing
    Do the winds blow hot and cold
    Are the forest fires raging
    This is your cry
    Where are you now Chico?
    Are you looking through the eyes
    Of your children
    Are they shining bright and true
    In memory of you
    And we need a revolution
    This is your cry
    Your heart, your soul, your life
    This is the garden
    For which we have to fight
    This is your cry
    Your heart, your soul, your life
    This is the garden
    For which we have to fight
    You lie on the forest floor
    In leaves of gold
    But you rise with the morning mist
    You fall with the evening rose
    And the day will come
