Mohamed Mahmoud Graffiti is a collection of graffiti that was painted on several walls in and surrounding Mohamed Mahmoud street near Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt during and after the 2011 Egyptian revolution.
Also known as sharei’ uyuun al-hurriyyah (Street of the Eyes of Freedom),[1] Mohamed Mahmoud Street became the site of several protests following the uprising that saw the resignation of Hosni Mubarak. The graffiti created has responded to and captured these protests, as well as more widely criticising the government and what the artists perceive as the failures of the revolution.
These protests have famously included clashes between protestors and Egyptian police and Central Security Forces (SCAF) from 19 – 24 November 2011, after a sit-in by the families of those killed or injured in uprising in Tahir Square in January and February 2011 were violently dispersed. These clashes were noted for their violence, with over 40 people killed, tear gas used and reports of an 'eye-sniper' that was deliberately targeting protestors’ eyes [2]
Further protests erupted in and surrounding Mohamed Mahmoud Street in February 2012 following the violence that took place at a match between Al-Ahly and Al-Masry football clubs at Port Said that saw 74 killed and over 1,000 injured.

Areas bearing the graffiti included the walls of The American University in Cairo and some buildings and schools surrounding it, and the concrete wall that was installed later in and surrounding Mohamed Mahmoud Street in response to these protests.
