 Alaa Awad's public murals were created in Cairo during the Egyptian Revolution and were painted on significant walls including temporary wall-like roadblock, built to keep protesters away from government buildings.In total, eight walls and seven roadblocks were constructed to keep protesters from Tahrir Square away from the Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Justice, and Parliament House.The paintings along Mohamed Mahmoud Street reflect the juxtaposition between the ruling power and how their style of leadership has fueled the resistance.
