An artist created a giant mural across 50 buildings in Cairo without the government noticing
Tech Insider | 30 March 2016
Amid Cairo's brick buildings and heaping piles of trash is a
sprawling work of art, which, at first, looks messy and incoherent.
But when you stand on the nearby hillside and read the spray-painted Arabic "calligraffiti," as its creator Tunisian-French artist eL Seed calls it, the message reads loud and clear: "If one wants to see the light of the sun, he must wipe his eyes."
The quote represents the importance of withholding judgment of people
just because of their circumstances, says eL Seed, who first visited
the community a few years ago. He's called the piece "Perception" for
just that reason, hoping to get people to see past the area's physical
appearance.
