A recently whitewashed wall in Tahrir Square became a source of protest, expression of thought and preservation of public memory through defiant strokes of vivid color.
Words like ‘We will not forget you,” and “when I leave your right I will be dead” reinforce sentiments of solidarity with the victims of police brutality.
The graffiti was a response to the government’s attempt of cleaning Tahrir Square which was welcomed by some who wished to forget the political turmoil in order to start afresh, while others were more critical and saw it as the establishments attempt to “erase history” and freedom of thought.
