Digital Archival Map

The digital archival map is an online, bi-lingual (Arabic and English), open source, and searchable database and visual representation of the ephemeral palimpsest of visual culture production on the walls of Cairo since January 25, 2011 until today. The map is a relational representation of street visual cultural production, human affect, phenomenological experiences, and street happenings. The map challenges hegemonic geo-maps by creating subjective and changing visual narratives of the Egyptian revolution. It responds to processes of erasure and demolition of visual production by archiving and representing these images digitally.
