Tahrir Voices

18 Ordinary Egyptians in 18 Extraordinary Days

By: Nadine Moussa

“Tarek pondered lengthily before deciding on important matters. He was very cautious and meticulously planned for the day he left to join the demonstrations. He removed all his credit cards and ATM cards from his wallet and only left his national ID, his business card and engineer’s syndicate card. He removed the keys to his parents’ home as his ID included their address and he feared someone breaking into the house if something happened to him. Rania later noticed the keys hanging on the key holder, unaware that he had removed them. Tarek left a list of important information for Rania in case of emergency, and the steps that she should take if he disappeared... Tarek clearly instructed her to contact his father, his brother and his colleague at work if police detained him. At that point, Rania was thinking of two scenarios: either he would be beaten and released like Amr Salama, or he would be beaten and imprisoned. In her mind there was no third option...” In 2011, the winds of change blew across Egypt, the region and the world. An unexpected turn of events changed the history of Egypt, the region and the world balance of power. Go back in time to the 18 days of Egypt’s epical Tahrir events, which mesmerized and inspired the globe. Re-live the Tahrir uprising through the voices of 18 ordinary Egyptians in extraordinary circumstances. Experience their moments of hope and despair, generosity and caution, turmoil and quiet, pain and joy, victory and defeat... Tahrir Voices will make you question what you know, understand and think of those momentous days and the events they catalyzed thereafter. 18 different perspectives: Which of them do you disagree with? Which of them resonate with you? Are you able to accept all the points of view? I invite you to open up different avenues of understanding and discussion of these critical events through the perspectives explored in Tahrir Voices.

A War of Colors

Graffiti and Street Art in Postwar Beirut

By: Nadine A. Sinno

Demonstrates the role of Beirut’s postwar graffiti and street art in transforming the cityscape and animating resistance. Over the last two decades in Beirut, graffiti makers have engaged in a fierce “war of colors,” seeking to disrupt and transform the city’s physical and social spaces. In A War of Colors, Nadine Sinno examines how graffiti and street art have been used in postwar Beirut to comment on the rapidly changing social dynamics of the country and region. Analyzing how graffiti makers can reclaim and transform cityscapes that were damaged or monopolized by militias during the war, Sinno explores graffiti’s other roles, including forging civic engagement, commemorating cultural icons, protesting political corruption and environmental violence, and animating resistance. In addition, she argues that graffiti making can offer voices to those who are often marginalized, especially women and LGBTQ people. Copiously illustrated with images of graffiti and street art, A War of Colors is a visually captivating and thought-provoking journey through Beirut, where local and global discourses intersect on both scarred and polished walls in the city.
