Obey Giant (1989 – 2008). Regarded by many as one of the most significant street art campaigns.
Arguably one of the m [...]

Mubarak Trial Reactions

Cairo – It only took 14 months for the trial of ousted president Hosny Mubarak to come to an end. And what an end it was. Him and one of his top aides, Habib Al Adly, got 25 years, “mo2abad”. The same Adly that Ultras sing about…you know… “kos om habib al adly beta3kom”

The first time I had known about this very active person was through my #syria twitter timeline. In 2010, the #syria timeline was not very active. But @Razaniyat (she has since cancelled that twitter account, now @redrazan) had a bunch of tweets about solid news of the country and the region. I would follow her s [...]
