The Tahrir Square meme: Event series at the University of East London

openDemocracy in conjunction with the University of East London ↑ is organizing a three-part event series on ‘The Tahrir Square Meme’ to be held at UEL's Dockland Campus ↑ . All the events are free and the public is encouraged to attend.

The series will explore the ways in which the tactics and symbols of the Arab Spring are spreading from east to west memetically, part of a semi-conscious linking of different struggles. The series will explore ‘links’ borne out of the Arab Spring and seek to understand the Spring’s global incarnations.

The first event is Rap and the Arab Spring ↑ and it will be held on the 29th of February at 6:30pm in Lecture Theatre WBG.02 ↑ .
