  • ‪#Jan25 Egypt - Omar Offendum, The Narcicyst, Freeway, Ayah, Amir Sulaiman (Prod. by Sami Matar) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCbpiOpLwFg
   
  This rap song by Arab Americans uses the hashtag #jan25 from the Egyptian revolution as a point to talk about the revolutions. This is a great example to show the spread of ideas (from Egypt to America) using social media.

  This comprehensive map from 2014 shows the countries involved in the Arab Spring and their government states after the revolutions. I hope to use this map to supplement the one I will create and add more context to the current situation.

  This photo of protestors in Egypt depicts a man holding a laptop up among the crowd and another screen in the background. I love the movement in this picture with the flags waving and the dense crowd of people. The laptop screen is still a prevalent feature in this photo next to raised hands, suggesting that technology was a tool for the people.
