This book examines the role of artists in Egypt during the 2011
revolution, when street art from graffiti to political murals
became ubiquitous facets of revolutionary spaces. Through
interviews, personal testimonies, and accounts of the lived
experience of 25 street artists, the book explores the meaning of
art in revolutionary political contexts, specifically by focusing
on artistic production during 'liminal' moments as the events of
the Egyptian revolution unfolded. The author privileges the
perspective of the actors themselves to examine the ways that
artists reacted to events and conceived of their art as means to
further the goals of the revolution. Based on fieldwork conducted
in the years since 2011, the book provides a narrative of Egyptian
artists' participation in and representations of the revolution,
from hopeful beginnings to the subsequent crackdown and election of
al-Sisi.
