- Summary:
- After the 2011 revolution, Egypt's artists emerged from decades in hiding. Hope blossoms among painters, dancers, and musicians. Color explodes in the streets. There is still fear among these artists as they continue processing political events, but with Mubarak gone, does art remain a form of protest? Keizer is a street artist who works under cover of darkness, educating the masses about the latest corruption. Choreographer Karima Mansour strives to create timeless dances that express the complex role of women within the society. Painter Khaled Hafez explains how the 'déjà vu images' seen on TV would resurface in all his early post-revolution paintings-the tanks, the guns, the soldiers-and discusses his evolution toward less literal art. Artist Hany Rashed describes the very act of depicting brutality as 'a beautiful thing' in a community where even photographing the police was forbidden until recently. By sharing the works of these and other bold, newly liberated artists, Noise of Cairo delivers an expressive, intelligent showcase of Egypt's vibrant, fluid creative life.
