The art of revolution

If you are in Cairo and into music we recommend participating and making this event a blast.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25 · 1:00PM – 4:00PM | EVERYONE IN CAIRO

Here is the message from the event organizers:
To all artists of Egypt :Go down to the streets and play music or make a mini gallery with your artistic production. This is a call to all of you Artists of Egypt ( amateurs or professionals ) to express your art freely in the streets. each one of you pick up your tool (paintings, musical instrument, handcrafts or whatever artistic production you make,call your friends and specially the artists to join you in your chosen artistic spot on Friday the 25th of February after the prayer and play free art for a free country.
This is a way to practice the freedom we’ve just achieved, so go down and express yourself : FREEDOM IS NOW
Suggestions:
1- ( For musicians) avoid playing under people’s houses ( your freedom stops where other people’s freedom starts ).
2- light equipment is easier to carry around in case you need to change your spot ( be mobile, moving while playing is a good idea as well (musicians)
3- call all your friends to come watch you/participate
4- inform all artists friends ( amateurs or professionals )that don’t know about the event
