Hanaa El Degham’s mixed art mural on the Lycee wall is to this date one of the most astounding street artworks I have seen in Egypt. The stencil was shocking and provocative, compelling some bystanders to even berate Hend for making it, a surefire sign that her message was powerful and effective. She participated in an anti-sexual harassment campaign by spraying the stencil ‘Warning! Don’t touch or castration awaits you!’. Hend made stencils in Mogamaa and around Tahrir during sit-ins in 2011. Her work has a tough, extreme and honest quality to it, and there’s nothing stereotypically feminine about her aesthetics. Hend Kheera is the first Egyptian graffiti artist to be profiled by Rolling Stone. She is the first graffiti artist in Egypt to appear in a feature film not only playing herself but also correctly representing the graffiti scene in Egypt. Aya appeared inMicrophone, Ahmed Abdalla’s brilliant 2010 film about the underground art scene in Alexandria. She holds her ground against her male contemporaries, and has exhibited recently in Germany as well as Beirut.
But they’re not they’re young, tough, talented and just as worthy of recognition as their male counterparts.Īlexandrian painter and street artist Aya Tarek is considered by many of her peers to be one of the pioneers of graffiti in Egypt. Graffiti is a dangerous cause as it is, and with perpetual violence against women in Egypt, you’d think female graffiti artists would be too intimidated to work on the city streets. There are many powerful, brilliant Arab women, including several in the graffiti scene. But then I think of these remarkable women and I am reminded of their strength, creativity and perseverance.
The last two years’ stories of horrific sexual and physical violence against women in Tahrir and many other depressing news could very easily break your will, change your mind about a woman’s place in protests and in Egypt as a citizen with equal rights. We didn’t experience an ‘awakening’ since the revolution but we’ve definitely had to fight harder. The Arab women I’ve met are some of the fiercest women in the world with sincere dedication to their work, cause and sense of identity. as if women were living in caves and making mud paintings before the revolution. as if it was a revolution led by men that awakened and inspired us women 2. And it’s incredibly patronizing to assume we ‘became’ liberated 1. We participated as Egyptians first, not as women, in January 25. When you look at the videos and photos of the eighteen days of Tahrir, you’ll see Egyptian women side by side with men in the thick of battles, some even at the front lines, braving tear gas and live bullets. Since January 25, so many foreign reporters have waxed on about the awakening of Arab women in the Arab Spring and how the revolutions liberated us/made us wake up and smell the coffee/made us throw off our headscarves and run happily through the meadows. 47,500.It’s a battle, being a woman in an Arab country, but perhaps the dire conditions makes us fighters.
