ABSTRACT
Globalization, indescribable, incommensurable, and still inescapable, is seldom used without yet another term trailing behind like its nerdy twin: postmodernism. With the uprisings in the Arab World, which kicked off some time at the end of 2010 and accelerated greatly with the Egyptian revolution at the beginning of 2011, a certain transcending movement became seemingly more perceptible. Mosireen, an independent media collective, started out to document and denounce the crimes of the military interim regime and has been following up their task of supporting citizen journalism and cultural activism ever since. And it is only one initiative among many that have been working more or less tirelessly against the injustices and failures of the ruling powers after what they still consider the people's revolution. The understanding of and interaction in and with public space has undergone massive changes in the course of the Arab Spring.
