Tahrir Square and Cairo street art, April 2012 - dial up warning!

I wonder if it'll be preserved.

I wish I knew more about it, especially the faces with wings...but even knowing almost nothing it is fantastic work.

very worthy of being your first hugh! picher post. thank you for sharing

I'd looked at some of this before and that one street that is literally lined with the faces of the dead is absolutely haunting. I heard last week that the government was trying to clean all of those walls off, so now people are standing guard to stop that.

Thanks for sharing!

Here's a fairly recent article about the whitewashing that's going on:
