ストリートアート
Before the revolution of 2011 in Egypt, street art was not a common presence. There were only a few artists using public space as a canvas prior to 2011. Before this time, street art was seen as a suspicious activity and could be stopped legally. The political revolution in Egypt was focused on overthrowing former president Hosni Mubarek. Street art at this time gave men and women a way to speak out against the military ruling. Since the end of the revolution, street art has continued to be a way for artists to protest. A couple common themes speak out against the Muslim Brotherhood and gender inequality.
