Ministry of Culture Expands Maha Gamil's Aswan Gold Murals Nationwide
The Ministry of Culture has adopted Maha Gamil's Aswan Gold mural project, expanding the urban art initiative to governorates beyond Aswan. Aug 20, 2025 Maha Gamil, the Aswan-based street artist whose vibrant murals have recently gone viral, has been commissioned by Egypt's Ministry of Culture to lead a nationwide public art campaign. The initiative, inspired by Gamil's collaborative work with her husband, Ali Abdelfattah, and their celebrated 'Aswan Gold' murals, aims to bring locally rooted, large-scale urban art to cities across the country. The Ministry of Culture announced that it will adopt the project to beautify urban facades and highlight Egyptian identity, with plans to expand it across the governorates. Minister of Culture Dr. Ahmed Fouad Hano emphasised that the initiative will focus on tourist destinations, allowing each region to showcase its unique heritage. Gamil's artistic journey began in 2011 while she was a Fine Arts student. Defying societal norms that discouraged women from painting public walls, she began working under the cover of night, supported by friends as lookouts. Her breakthrough came when locals defended her early work, affirming its value within the community.
