LOG LINE:
Queen Nefertiti returns to join revolutionary street artists on the front lines in the fight for women’s rights and freedom in Egypt.
SYNOPSIS:
Nefertiti’s Daughters is a story of women, art and revolution. Told by prominent Egyptian artists, this documentary witnesses the critical role revolutionary street art played during the Egyptian uprisings. Focused on the role of women artists in the struggle for social and political change, it spotlights how the iconic graffiti of Queen Nefertiti places her on the front lines in the ongoing fight for women’s rights and freedoms in Egypt today.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:
The idea for Nefertiti’s Daughters grew out of watching the 2011 uprisings in the Arab world and how politically-charged graffiti and street art played such a prominent role as an act of social resistance. As someone who came to filmmaking after years in American politics, I was fascinated by the revolutionary aspect of this form of expression and how, through the simple act of writing on walls, these artists communicated their society’s hopes, dreams and demands.
After watching a 2012 TED talk by Egyptian artist Bahia Shehab, I began to understand not only the violence that women in Egypt face on a daily basis, but how courageous women like Shehab tackled these previously taboo social issues through street art. The world took note.The film focuses on three prominent women artists whose ages span three decades, and whose work illuminates their perspective of the world, but also offers us a window into how each sees the struggles of their gender and country.
We witness how street art has played a vital role throughout history during times of political transformation and social instability, and how ancient Egyptian history is incorporated directly into the work, re-appropriating styles from Pharaonic times including the great Queen Nefertiti, whose image becomes a rallying cry for women in the yet-to-be-completed Egyptian revolution. The street art memorializes acts of government brutality, serves as a call-to-arms for women, turns the tables on the male predators, and even makes us all imagine a world where a woman would be permitted to sing the sacred Adhan (the Muslim call for prayer).

An artist is in love with architecture and an architect is in love with art. This week we look into the works of two artists for whom the wall becomes an object of gaze and admiration. American artist Gaia aims to speak to audiences about issues of global warming and globalization creating work that is contextual and referential to the architecture its made on. Architect cum artist Ullas Hydoor is inspired by the monotony of life at the Inland Conatiner Depot in Delhi and personifies it on the wall . Watch the works of these two artists come alive this week on Colour My City.

Flashback mural art project in 2014 to 2017 Artist:nileshartist Pune,india
Four years after street art arrived in India, colorful murals are transforming urban landscapes in major cities such as Mumbai and New Delhi in a variety of places, from slums to rail stations. The appeal is not just visual. It is helping brighten the environment of rundown urban spaces and putting the common man in touch with art as it frees it from the confines of galleries.

The Maqtha Art District is an installment of street art and murals throughout a small slum in Hyderabad which has been put up in the last two years (2016 & 2017). I invite you to consider the value and irony of this project, and whether you believe it is a worthwhile investment of time and resources. Tell me thoughts below! Personally, I think art is the greatest nutrient for the soul, and am glad that so many people have a physical brightness brought into their corner of this still developing country.

“Macht Zur See”- Power at Sea. Excerpts taken from sculpture made at Vienna by Rudolf Weyr in 1895. Presumably, the picture depicts Poseidon who looks on from a rock alongside a heroic nude woman with a robe conveniently flying across her groin standing on a ship, presumably his wife and contour Amphitrite at the top who is considered the goddess of calm seas and safe passage through storms while Poseidon was known for his rage and considered god of storms and earthquakes. It is said that Amphitrite’s voice is the only thing that can calm her husband’s mightiest of rages and lull him to a deep slumber so as to bring the ocean to peace once more. There also is one man who seem to be getting condemned to the ocean depths. There is not much literature about the sculpture anywhere thus making it open to interpretation. So originally it could mean for both of them to be ruling together in harsh conditions while there are others who cannot survive the sea’s wrath. Or it could depict the superiority of Amphitrite’s calmness over Poseidon’s wrath and rage. There also have been authors who have linked it to sexuality and have quoted that ‘power can be seducing sometimes’. Or it could even mean something else, thus leaving a room for one to have their own interpretation and making it the kind of work that I love the most, the ones leaving a mystery and raising a question. #madmangotdonewiththewall ????
