This Lion and another three ones... stand guarding the most famous bridge in Egypt for it's beauty....( Kasr Al Neel - Nile's Palace ) bridge, Est. 1933...
The bronze lions were Created by French sculptor ( Alfred Jacquemart ), and were meant to be guarding ( Mohammed Ali Pasha 's ) statue in Alxandria...
But the designer of the bridge engineer ( Louis Maurice Adolphe Linant de Bellefonds ) brought them to Cairo to stand guard his fantastic bridge....
(The text on the graffiti says: "Now my life really begins. Fighting against injustice, racism and poverty with the face that the world knows so well." Mohammed Ali)
Wandered down a quiet road in the Stokes Croft / St. Paul's area of Bristol and came across these artworks ...
Casi cuadrado (de 54 metros por 53), tiene piso de mármol y está rodeado por arcadas redondeadas que soportan pequeñas cúpulas mediante grandes columnas de mármol, como en las mezquitas de Solimán Pasha y Malika Safiyya.
En medio del patio se encuentra la fuente de las abluciones. Es de forma octogonal y está cubierta por una cúpula de mármol y una cúpula de madera exterior, apoyada en ocho columnas de mármol y rematada por una marquesina de madera. La superficie interna de la cúpula de madera está decorada con pinturas de paisajes en estilo barroco.
En las fuentes de las abluciones es donde los musulmanes se purifican por medio del agua antes de cada una de las cinco oraciones diarias.
En el centro de la fachada oeste del patio se encuentra una pequeña torre hecha en cobre perforado que alberga el reloj obsequiado por el rey Luis Felipe de Francia a Muhammad Ali en 1846, a cambio de uno de los dos obeliscos que se erigían en la entrada del templo de Amón en Luxor, y ubicado hoy día en la Plaza de la Concorde, en París. Dicho reloj resultó dañado durante su instalación y nunca llegó a funcionar.
Mohamed Ali Mosque is amongst the most interesting Mosques in Egypt. It stands proudly on the highest point inside the courtyard of the Citadel of Saladin, and is also called the Alabaster Mosque. The architect was Yousf Boushnaq, a Turkish man who had come over from Istanbul to build this great Mosque for Mohamed Ali, the ruler of Egypt from1805 until 1849.
He based his plans on the Sultan Ahamed Mosque in Istanbul, and the construction began in 1830 A.D. The work continued ceaselessly until the death of Mohamed Ali in 1849, and had to be finished during the reign of his successors. Mohamed Ali was buried in the tomb situated on the south-eastern side of Beit Al Salah, on the right side of the entrance that leads to the main section.
It should be noted that the Mosque of Muhammad Ali is not typical of such structures in Cairo. In its architecture, Muhammad Ali Pasha, viceroy and effectively king of Egypt, as well as the founder of Egypt's modern era, achieved a radical break with all traditional characteristics of Cairo architecture from the Mamluk to the late Ottoman period. This departure is emphasized by the choice of sites. Now, because it is the most visible of Islamic monuments in Cairo, Muhammad Ali's mosque became a symbol of the city, even though it is the least Egyptian of these monuments.
The next February, Malcolm X and Sam Cooke would be dead - killed, that is. Oh, what could have been.

Check out some of the idiot commentary from Herald-Sun readers. My favourite is the one who asks "Why Muslim art in Australia? Let them do it in their own countries, surely." This tool probably votes :(
Las paredes exteriores están recubiertas de alabastro. Las inscripciones con fondo azul que adornan las ventanas representan fragmentos del poema "Al Burda", escrito por Imam al Buseiry.
La Mezquita de Alabastro (o Mezquita de Mohammed Alí) está situada en la parte más alta de la Ciudadela de El Cairo. Fue construida a instancias del gobernador otomano Mehmet Alí sobre el lugar que ocupaba la antigua ciudadela mameluca de El Cairo, aunque no fue totalmente completada hasta 1857, durante el gobierno de Mehmet Said.
El arquitecto fue Yusuf Bushnak de Estambul y su modelo fue la Mezquita de Yeni (Mezquita Nueva) en esa ciudad.

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha or Alabaster Mosque (Arabic: مسجد محمد علي, Turkish: Mehmet Ali Paşa Camii) is a mosque situated in the Citadel of Cairo in Egypt and commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848.
Situated on the summit of the citadel, this Ottoman mosque, the largest to be built in the first half of the 19th century, is, with its animated silhouette and twin minarets, the most visible mosque in Cairo. The mosque was built in memory of Tusun Pasha, Muhammad Ali's oldest son, who died in 1816.
This mosque, along with the citadel, is one of the landmarks and tourist attractions of Cairo and is one of the first features to be seen when approaching the city from no matter which side.

With stage 2 of my overcomplicated 3-in-1 Muhammad Ali canvas completed I was all set to remove the tape to be left with my stage 3 final mashup image when I had an idea. Since removing the tape itself is pretty darn satisfying and you don't quite know what you'll get until it's all removed then perhaps that could be considered a unique selling point. I know it would be for me.
So, for a limited time, this canvas is being offered for sale as is - for £150 (plus p&p). You could then remove all or none of the tape. Up to you. This time will be limited to an unspecified time and will be based on how long I can refrain from doing it myself. I reckon I can last at least 24 hours...
Made using the power of imagination, stencils, spray paint, tape and a sketch of my dad's of Ali from some time in the 70's on a 60x60cm canvas. Drop us a line if you need to peel that tape off yourself...
Cheers

Cairo - Egypt Black and White Series Part VII
The view of the skyline of Cairo - Egypt. This picture was taken from the Minaret of the Mosque of Ibn Tulun. You can see the Mohammed Ali (Alabaster) Mosque in the Citadel.
We visited Mohammed Ali's grave site in Louisville, KY, USA and it is indeed a beautiful site. It is said he wanted a modest burial place. The caretaker there today noted Ali had come himself to choose this particular site, and well chosen it is. In comparison with other memorials in this cemetery, it is indeed humble, beautifully designed, maintained and watched over. There are benches on each side of the steps if one wishes to sit and reflect and there is a small urn where passersby drop change after walking up a small grouping of solidly placed stone steps. It is beautifully landscaped with petunias, dahlias, ivy, begonias and other bright, colorful flowers. This is definitely a peaceful, inspiring place and well worth the visit. Pictured: Nadia and David.
About our friend, Nadia:
Nadia Kennedy (adopted name), born 10/16/98, was possibly born in Kiev, Ukraine. She relays that her birth parents in Russia were reported to the government as being addicts and alcoholics and their neighbors called the police on them. Both babies (or toddlers) Nadia and her sister were removed from the home and placed in separate "baby houses", aka a place where they sorted out babies to determine which were healthy enough to stay in Russia and which would be offered out to other nations for care and adoption.
Nadia stated her sister is one year younger than she is. Her sister's birthday is 8/4/99. She wants to locate her sister. Please do share this link/photo with anyone you know who might know the whereabouts of her long lost Ukraine sister.
Nadia says she was born with fetal alcohol syndrome. You can read about fetal alcohol syndrome here: www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/fasd/facts.html
Her maternal adopted Grandparents currently reside Woodbury, NJ. Her adoptive parents currently reside in Florida.
The idea of being caught in between two lands and the duality as an immigrant generation is explored in this mural ‘Mateer Tan’ (Land is calling) now complete on Brick Lane.
Too often street-art murals fail to engage and resonate with the people that live amongst those walls. It’s always baffled me. This community steeped in history that saw migrants arrive and transform the area needed art that spoke to them meaningfully.
Painting this mural was a very personal one for me. Following the passing of my mother, I feel I am beginning to properly understand what the calling of an ancestral land really means.
Moreover painting something in Brick Lane, whilst not being from Tower Hamlets, I’m proud to be referred to as a ‘Damand’(groom) of Tower Hamlets, through marriage into a well known family in the local area. The local people have now heard of my connection to the local area.
My late father In law Shomuz Ali had a leather factory just off Brick Lane and was known for being a noble and righteous man involved with the formation of Brick Lane mosque. This mural was a mammoth task with so many challenges, but worth it. This was my gift to my in-laws and the local community- in honour of my late mother and father in law and that generation of early immigrants.
The art depicts and celebrates rural life of Bangladesh. Placing such imagery big and bold upon an iconic street In London shouts loud and proud the Bangladeshi and immigrant identity that perhaps many can be insecure about.
…Working class roots and never put on a plate for us. Struggle is embedded in our DNA.
