Egypt's Graffiti Protests


In this Tuesday, March 13, 2012 photo, a boy watches an Egyptian female artist and activist at work on the "No Walls Street" during the graffiti campaign to paint a reproduction of the streets behind them and targeted the concrete blocks walls in downtown Cairo, Egypt. After Egypt's ruling military sealed off streets around Cairo's Tahrir Square with walls of imposing concrete blocks, a group of artists decided to reopen the avenues on their own, in the public imagination, at least.
