#livre Egypt’s Revolutionary #Graffiti
One of the most consequential and certainly one of the most widely reported events in recent memory, the Egyptian Revolution of January 25, 2011, has irrevocably altered the political landscape of the Middle East and changed the very nature of global protest. Inspired in part by the success of the Tunisian Revolution a year earlier, as well as previous “color revolutions” in Eastern Europe, Egyptians understood from the beginning the historical importance and global context of their rebellion, which has since sent shockwaves of dissent across the world, inspiring both the Libyan and Syrian uprisings, as well as the more modest and short-lived Occupy Wall street movement in the United States. Though not nearly as spontaneous as it seemed to the Western media breathlessly reporting on its unfolding, the extraordinary events of that first month marked a radical cultural shift among ordinary Egyptians, the vast majority of whom had lived under the police state for their entire lives under the watchful eyes of Hosni Mubarak, who had ruled without rival for thirty years. - See more at: ▻http://www.warscapes.com/art/egypt%E2%80%99s-revolutionary-graffiti#sthash.hadBDoPT.fdd3GOGN.dpuf
