After the Indiegogo campaign, you can still help: Pre-order the book!
Since the beginning of the revolution, we have been involved in Egypt’s thriving urban art scene. We worked in close collaboration with a network of its leading artists on mural projects, events and exhibitions. Over a year ago we started to work on a book, in order to professionally document the Egyptian Street Art explosion. The amazing artworks of the last three years pieced together, tell the whole story of the Egyptian revolution. We have worked with many artists, capturing their art, their vision and their stories. We collaborated with Egyptologists, Historians, and Activists to accurately tell the story of the changing role of expression in public space.
We put a staggering amount of work into this book. In order to complete it – and truly do justice to the artists and the story of the revolution- we now need financial support. This will cover parts of the essential costs of production such as printing, and further editing & design.
To help support our project, we will launch a fundraising campaign with the online platform Indiegogo. For anyone unfamiliar with Indiegogo, it is a funding platform for projects on a variety of subjects. The beauty of Indiegogo is that we can involve people in the making of our book and reward their support at the same time. You can visit our Indiegogo page (coming soon!) to learn about our book and make a donation in exchange for unique rewards, including original artwork from some of the scene’s leading artists.
We are giving ourselves 45 days to reach our fundraising goal, and if we fall short, we will not be able to complete this book. So even if you don’t feel you can contribute much – please know that every dollar counts! And every effort you make to help promote the project helps us reach new potential backers.
Check out our amazing campaign perks !
we have been working day and night to get you some amazing perks/rewards for your support from the scene’s leading artists.
We have limited quantities of original artwork so make sure you contribute as early as you can.
Check out the complete list of perks for your contribution to our campaign! PERKS!

"I have to be honest, I was a little skeptical before I received it (so many books about graffiti and the revolution) but yours is really wonderful and important; so different to all the other books out there of similar matter. It's such a critical historical document in so many ways, and beautifully done. I love your approach and all you have done to bring this together. Congratulations."
