Conclusion
Abstract
This chapter explores the afterlife of resistance in Egypt through the media practices of the Mosireen Collective, showing how citizen-generated footage and cultural activism exposed state violence and disrupted official narratives. It examines the micro-politics of everyday resistance, where acts of filming, archiving and circulating visual evidence served as tactical responses to repression and erasure. In a landscape shaped by surveillance, legal crackdowns and the erosion of civic space, Mosireen&s;s practices demonstrated how digital tools could sustain visibility, foster accountability and preserve memory. The chapter situates these interventions within wider struggles against authoritarianism and argues that digital resistance remains essential not only for confronting state crime but also for reclaiming and reimagining the public sphere.
