About This Blog

Libyans are finally free to express themselves! This is showing up in many ways, but truly amazing are the graffiti and murals being painted all over the country. Many people are even hiring artists to decorate the outside walls of their homes.

Designs range from very simple spray-painted graffiti to elaborate murals that are worthy of museums and galleries. Many of the messages are written in English as well as Arabic and sometimes in the Berber language, Tamazight. Red, green, and black, the colours of the new flag are used in abundance. And many pictures feature Kadafy and his son Saif Al-Islam. The range of work and ideas expressed by the people of Libya after 42 years of creative suppression is simply awesome.
