| Popis: | The aim of this paper is to explore political street art images assequences in a dialogue that feeds from, and extends to, widerpolitical discourse. The paper argues for the centrality andpredominance of the visual in the way everyday political discourseis negotiated and in the process through which space is producedin the city. The images are conceptualized through socioculturalpsychology as intervention tools that are used by different socialactors in response to different political dialogues in public discourse.A longitudinal methodology is used to follow the transformativesocial lives of those images as they borrow from, and respond to,one another. A longitudinal series of images will be presented fromone wall in the area of Tahrir Square during and after the Egyptianrevolution of 2011, images which were made by different socialgroups in response to political and social changes, and which thusdemonstrate contested political dialogue in the form of inscribing andre-inscribing the recent history of the revolution.
