A Study of Form and Content in Contemporary Egyptian Graffiti (2005-2015) with a Focus on the Works of AlaaAwad

Abstract

Abstract: Among Islamic countries, Egypt, with its ancient and rich cultural heritage and its strategic and significant position in the geography and history of the post-Islamic era, is considered one of the most important Islamic civilizations. Beyond its illustrious history spanning centuries and millennia, which merits detailed and insightful study by scholars and researchers, the art of this country during the recent decade of transformations (2005-2015) has been the focus of attention. Considering the socio-political changes that occurred in Egypt during this decade, the content and thematic influences, as well as the stylistic and visual aesthetics in the field of visual arts, have been studied and researched. Among contemporary technical and artistic fields, the primary focus is on protest mural art or graffiti, as graffiti is a spontaneous art form that emerges from the heart of social and popular contexts and is inherently devoid of state-sponsored propaganda. Therefore, it provides a transparent reflection of the intellectual developments and values of society. This research will explain the meanings and origins of mural art and its historical background, focusing on contemporary protest graffiti in Egypt. By examining the works of one of the influential artists in this field, named "AlaaAwad," the historical and ideological roots embedded in these works and their impact on the revolutionary and protest culture of Egyptians will be explored.
