Photos taken sometime in these days, November, 2011 during the Arab spring, in Egypt.
Sometimes, more often than not, it feels like it was a dream, it’s been so cold here ever since, I wonder if spring will come again.

Tahrir Square was not designed to serve as a space for the Egyptian people's expressions of revolution and protest, but it became exactly that.
Since the 2011 uprising, it has been architecturally transformed to suppress its revolutionary identity and reshape its perception in collective memory:

don’t shoot me but my contentious view is that it probably wasn’t a Nazi salute - despite obvious similarities - and we shouldn’t claim to *know* that it was one
