Description:Working with stylized typographic and calligraphic forms, Egyptian-Lebanese street artist Bahia Shehab brings creative presentations of language and culture to public spaces around the world. During the Egyptian revolution of 2011, she began taking to the streets to paint. Starting in Cairo, Shehab began creating large-scale public art as a form of resistance against military rule and violence. With her spray can in hand, this artist, designer, and historian set out to spread beautiful and empowering images in the face of tumultuous times.

In 2016, she became the first Arab woman to receive the UNESCO-Sharjah Prize for Arab Culture.At the Corner of a Dream offers extensive documentation of Shehab’s powerful street paintings.
