PROGRAMME: 'Women on Walls' takes to Cairo streets to tackle women's issues through graffiti
Beginning on Saturday 8 February and continuing until Thursday 13 February, Women on Walls will paint walls around Cairo
Published in Ahram Online on 07 - 02 - 2014

For six consecutive days between 8 and 13 February, the Women on Walls (WOW) project will take to the streets of Cairo to paint walls and talk about women's issues and empowerment. As such, WOW aims at empowering artists, especially female graffiti artists.
WOW's initiative was born in spring 2013, when over 40 artists participated in the project and covered streets of four cities, Mansoura, Alexandria, Cairo and Luxor with art. The 2013 event saw artists transforming the walls of a downtown Cairo parking garage into a street art gallery.
This time, supported by Nazra for Feminist Studies and HarassMap, WOW will concentrate on downtown walls of the Sherif Street parking lot, near the Borg El-Lewa. World-renowned Swedish graffiti artist Carolina Falkholt (street names: Blue and Grafitta) will also join in this year's event, and will conduct a graffiti workshop.
