Letter From Cairo

Art Monthly. Issue No.357. June 2012. Letter From Cairo. P38

This  artical is about the art movement in Cairo since the revolution in 2011.
It talks about the newly formed "Coalition of Independent Culture".  making reference to the "liberation of expression". The new graffiiti art that has spread around the city's buildings and walls,"in Cairo, the walls have tongues".  it makes reference to the way attempts have been made to curate shows and "how easy it is to curate an exhibition in a city that had turned into one massive art studio".
All of these comments  make me think how art must have exploded into existence and how the people must have felt about the restrictions there must have been on art. it is something I would not have thought about.
