So when in Cairo, you just have to understand that you are in 'the embrace of the history'. I understand that this is a sign, and not necessarily street art, but hot damn, I love it. I felt embraced by this history too. Of course this sign is actually in Cairo, rather somewhere along the Nile I think. What I love about the street art I found in Egypt (to be honest, I only found stencil art in Cairo) is that it really is such an amazing mesh of traditional and pop culture. From a pharaoh head: to a little Michael Jackson action:If you happen to get to Cairo, you can find these near the base of Cairo Tower:
I fell in love with stencil art thanks to my beautiful sister who loves it also. I have taken photos of graffiti and stencil art for years and thought that it would be nice to share this art with other people.
If you have any photos of street art which you think should be included, or you're an artist who is doing some work which you would like to be covered in this blog, or you have photos of street art you're happy for me to upload, please drop me an email.
(If you're sending in images to be included, can you please supply me with as much info as possible? Location, who took the photo, website if applicable).
