Info

Tahrir Cinema went live on July 14, 2011.The public experienced Tahrir Cinema as film shown on a screen constructed of wood and plastic in the main thoroughfare of the square. Surrounding the screen were rugs for people to sit on and areas for a larger standing crowd to view the footage. Lara Baladi created a collection of footage that included videos shot by activists directly involved in the revolution.She was very broad in her collecting, even showing "solidarity protests" from London.Being able to view and experience images and video taken by citizens in Egypt was an abrupt break with Mubarak's regime, where photography was prohibited in many areas of Egypt.Baladi writes, "people in the square took photos because they felt the social responsibility to do so... The camera became a nonviolent weapon aimed directly at the state, denouncing it. Continuing work Baladi received a Fellowship from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Open Documentary Lab for 2014 and 2015 in order to research, archive and create a transmedia activism project called Vox Populi, Archiving a Revolution in the Digital Age.Vox Populi is a multimedia documentary that consists of an archive of <strong>art</strong>icles, images and videos that Baladi had been gathering since January 25, 2011.Preserving the ephemera and the images of the revolution in Tahrir is important to Baladi. She writes that "most of the images of the 18 days vanishing into a bottomless pit thanks to Google's PageRank algorithm, will the vision of a possible new world people glimpsed in [Tahrir] Square die along with its digital traces?" This expression of the fleeting nature of the digital world informs her current work.
