The initiative is part of a Mahatat's Art of Transit, a project consisting of a few tours that involve professional artists who perform in public spaces as a form of artistic intervention.

The first tour included Abo Karim marching band and El-Kousha puppet theatre troupe, known for performing with giant puppets in public spaces.
