Only a few metres away from a number of protest sites in the heart of downtown Cairo, four artists have set up an exhibition of art pieces entitled 'Freedom' at the makeshift 'Revolution Museum' in the Hotel Viennoise.

Born from a conversation between visual artists Ganzeer and Hany Rashed in 2012, the exhibition also features graffiti and installation works by Ammar Abu Bakr and Ahmed Hefnawy.

Programme:
The exhibition is open every day from 6-9pm at the Hotel Viennoise until 29 December
11 Mahmoud Bassiouny, downtown Cairo
