Global Street Art - Libya - Art In The Streets - MOCAtv
In this video, students of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Tripoli, Libya join street artists and professors to participate in a massive mural that spans the walls across from one of Muammar Gaddafi's former compounds. The structures of a force that once terrified and oppressed the Libyan people are now reduced to rubble; on the other side of the road, artists paint images of hope, peace and unity. Street art - and any form of creative expression - was unthinkable during Gaddafi's rule, and it's uplifting to watch these artists repossess their city's walls with artistic expression.
Filmed in Tripoli by Osama Al Fitory. Music by Modus and Beta Music for MOCAtv. Featuring the works of Taha El Aga, Asmaa El Sewesy, Ayman El Jehani , Rayan El Azzaby and many others. Produced by Soraya Morayef

Anger and frustration in Libya's 'writings on the wall'
Subscribe to our channel
Graffiti is the most conspicuous form of artistic expression in Libya at the moment. In the past, artists were only allowed to glorify Muammar Gaddafi - the country's president on the run - and vilify the West.
Now that things have changed Gaddafi has become the target of satire and ridicule through Graffiti.
The country's artists are venting their frustration and anger at the man who ruled them for so many years through their public depictions.

No to Torture: A Libyan Experience
On the occasion of Human Rights Day, on December 10, 2013, the World Organisation against Torture (OMCT) promoted four days of artistic activism for human rights in Tripoli, Libya. In co-operation with local and international partners and with financial support from the European Union, OMCT convened educational 'playshops' for children, commissioned a huge graffiti mural on Al Saidi Street in Tripoli, as well as an original hip hop song, and held a conference on civil society’s fight against torture in Libya. On December 10, 2014, OMCT is proud to release this documentary film about these events, which captures the hope and energy felt by artists and activists in Libya only one year ago.

الغضب السوري في المحافظات السورية 18 - 02 - 2
سم شباب سوريا بكتابة شعارات يسقط بشار الأسد على جدران الأبنية الحكومية في بعض المدن السورية.
وقام تصورير بعض من هذه النشاطات التي يقوم بها هؤلاء الشباب, وتمّ تحميل الصور على مواقع الانترنيت واليوتيوب والفيس بووك حيث يستطيع السورييون من الداخل مشاهدتها بعدما فتحت السلطات السورية في الأسبوع الماضي هذه المواقع التي كانت محجوبة منذ عام 2007.
وتعتبر هذه النشاطات بمثابة كسر حاجز الخوف التي يعيشها السورييون لعهود طويلة تحت نظام فرض الرعب والخوف بين المواطنين. وهذه النشاطات لم تألفها الشوارع السورية من قبل لكنها اشتدت بعد الأحداث التي تشهدها المنطقة.
وكتب الشباب على الجدران شعارات من بينها
ارحل يا بشار
يسقط نظام بشار الأسد
يسقط النظام
الشعب يريد اسقاط النظام
وتوعّدت مجموعة شباب سوريا بالمزيد من الكتابات والمنشورات التي من شأنها حثّ السوريين على الانتفاضة ضد النظام الحاكم على غرار تونس ومصر.

They shot him, they shot him. I don't know why, Gadhafi's councils, I don't know who. I am not relinquishing my rights. And this is with my prayers. I want our revolutionary council to bring me my rights. If only he had lived because I only have my children. My son painted, he expressed himself with a pen.

STORYLINE:
Revolutionary graffiti is emblazoned on walls across the rebel capital of Benghazi in eastern Libya.
But standing out from all the rest by its artistry and humour is the work of artist Kais el Helali.
And he paid for his art with his life.
Kais was travelling on this road in the west of the city on 20 March 2011 when he ran into a roadblock manned by supporters of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
His friend Omar Mohammed Ali explains how he died, shot in the neck in an apparent targeted killing.
Kais, 31 years old when he died, was the main breadwinner in his relatively poor family.
His mother had encouraged his artistic talent from an early age.
Kais grew to sell caricatures and drawings to supplement his income.
His mother hopes his killers are found and brought to justice.
The whole family is struggling with its grief, shocked by the brutal tragedy.
His sacrifice has not gone unnoticed in Benghazi, and a room in the culture ministry building has been named for him.
Inside it other artists continue to carry his torch, surrounded by his pictures.
His life is an inspiration to the rebel cause say the artists there.
After death threats warning him to stop his pictorial abuse of Col. Moammar Gadhafi, Kais drew up a last will which his brother contemplates on a computer screen in the family home.

STORYLINE:
Thousands of Iraqi protesters showed their support for President Saddam Hussein in a state-organised protest in Baghdad on Monday.
At the march, organised by the ruling Ba'ath party and the Iraqi National Assembly, demonstrators chanted anti-American slogans and burnt US flags.
The protest coincided with the announcement from United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Monday that the
UN's chief weapons inspector could accept an invitation to Baghdad.
The visit would be dependent on Saddam Hussein, shown here on Iraqi television at a recent cabinet meeting, allowing the return of inspectors who have been barred from Iraq for nearly four years.
In a letter to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan last week, Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri said his government wants chief weapons inspector Hans Blix, as well as its own experts, to determine outstanding issues regarding Iraq's banned weapons programmes and figure out how to resolve them before inspectors return.
Annan said he plans to discuss the Iraqi offer further with Security Council members later on Monday.
Underlying the discussion between Annan and the Security Council on Monday is US President George W. Bush's call for Saddam's ouster.
