What’s changed since the revolution?

Street artist Omar ’Picaso’ Fathy explains

 I am Omar Fathy. I am an artist and a painter.

For me the thing that has changed most after the revolution is that I can express my opinion and be aware of my rights… I know at my rights are and how to demand them.

Before the revolution, it wasn’t in our heads, and we didn’t give it attention. We were not interested, or they made it so we would not demand it.

Now even though I will be fought, I will ask for my rights, even if the price is my life.

The important this is for me to get my freedom and be free.

I believe that people have woken up and know their rights now, more than before. People know their rights and they know how to demand them.

This means it will be difficult to deceive them again.
