Examining street art as an aesthetic expression of political dissent, this paper explores Egypt’s transforming political landscape post-2011 through an analysis of the changing street art of Tahrir Square. This paper examines identity politics and the shifting Egyptian public opinion, political expression, and negotiation of citizenship rights as demonstrated in the changing visual culture and physical space of Tahrir Square. On a grassroots level, when unity is formed in common struggle, traditional divisions along sectarian lines can be temporarily suspended or dissolved completely. On January 25, 2011, Egyptians of diverse ages, political expressions and religious and socio-economic backgrounds took to the streets in mass anti-government protests. As events unfolded, citizens joined in protests across Egypt and in the diaspora in what became the “Arab Spring.” Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators occupied Tahrir Square; making it the most iconic image of Egypt’s Arab uprising as well as the most politically active locale in Egypt for populist political dissent post-2011. Five years later, amidst a dynamic negotiation between identity politics, nationalism, and Egyptian citizenship debates, the revolutionary street art on the walls of Tahrir Square represents the changing political environment of the nation. This aesthetic expression of political dissent demonstrated a fluctuating public opinion. Egyptian political exchange drastically changed alongside the transforming political landscape—overthrowing the Mubarak regime, experimenting with Muslim Brotherhood leadership, and the eventual return to military dictatorship. The varying populist reactions to these changes were memorialized in Tahrir Square—slogans and imagery in Tahrir Square were both in opposition and support for Islamist groups and military rule. Notably, through their street art, protestors were able to visually and physically occupy Tahrir Square with their political dissent long after the demonstrations were dissolved. The visual culture of Tahrir Square was not entirely unmediated. Though populist figures were the originators of these organic artistic productions, what was allowed to remain on the walls of Tahrir—and what was eventually taken down—demonstrates a tension and negotiation of power between the Egyptian people and the changing Egyptian authority figures. This paper examines the visual material culture and the negotiation of power over this contested space as a reflection of the shaping of identity politics in Egypt post-2011. Moreover, this paper engages with questions of nationalism and citizenship debates between various segments of Egyptian society, and across divergent socio-economic backgrounds, that came to the forefront amidst this struggle over changing Tahrir.
