Calligraphy Calligraffiti Art, by Feral Things on Sept 27, 2013 20:56:39 GMT 1, Egyptian Street Art
Ganzeer
Ganzeer was perhaps the most prominent of a whole wave of political street artists who emerged during the revolution:
A memorial to Tarek Abdelatif Mohamed Al-Aktash who was just an ordinary family man who, like many others, was killed by the security forces in Tahrir Square:
Part of Ganzeer's Vitrine Project about state surveillance:
Ammar Abo Bakr
This piece depicts the everyday people who lost their eyes in clashes with the security services prior to the 2011 parliamentary elections:
"A painting of the late Major General Mohamed Batran, head of prison investigations, who was killed by police officers on January 28, 2011 for refusing orders to release prisoners to terrorize demonstrators." I don't know anything about el-Batran beyond this incident but it's worth noting that Egypt's prison system wasn't exactly a beacon of human rights before or after the revolution:
Protestors and tear gas in Tahrir Square:
Omar 'Picasso' Fahry
This piece, featuring Mohamed Morsia, Field Marshal Tantawi and Hosni Mubarak, suggested that the military would seize power again and it turned out to be depressingly prophetic:
Some graffiti themes are universal:

L'Atlas has a show entitled 'Extractions' at Magda Danysz Gallery in Paris opening this weekend. The artists statement which is posted on the gallery's website might provide an interesting insight for those not familiar with his work; it's available here.
L'Atlas also has a joint exhibition with Mรฉta Parole which is about to come to and end. It's at TAG City in Brussels and Parole will also be part of a group show at White and Art Gallery in Brussels called Expo BE.GRAFFITI opening on 26 October. And here's a recent piece painted with Belgium writer Eyes-B:
This is Aya Tarek's work in progress at the City Leaks festival in Cologne.
And there's an interesting interview with her as part of the 'Words of Women from the Egyptian Revolution' series; click on captions for subtitles:

The Zoo Project which tries to reinserting people killed during the Jasmine Revolution back into the public consciousness so that they're not forgotten. The figure on the right is Mohamed Bouazizi, whose act of self-immolation in protest at the authority's confiscation of his goods was the catalyst for the Arab Spring:
DaBro's portrait of assassinated trade unionist Farhat Hached
Shoof's wall as part of La Tour Paris 13 earlier this month
94 Crew
Hรฉla Ammar who, amongst other things, worked with JR on the Inside Out project when he was in Tunisia

Calligraphy Calligraffiti Art, by Feral Things on Nov 27, 2013 22:13:09 GMT 1, Moroccan street art...
Morran ben Lahcen - I love the variety of Morran's work and his trademark paintings made up of +'s are well worth checking out - Facebook - Flickr - Twitter
Mohamed Boustane - Boustane is represented by David Bloch Gallery who have a fantastic roster of artists and have put on some great looking shows:
Ceet - made his name as a writer in China but he's of Moroccan origin and returned to Morocco this year to paint with the legendary Tats Crew as part of the RempโArts Festival in Azzemour:
Yann Chatelin AKA Poze - incorporates traditional arabic calligraphy into modern portraiture:
Senzo
