There is a League of the Revolution's Artists in Egypt that is producing drawings, caricatures, poems and plays that are inspired by Mubarak's rule. She reports about the death of ahmed El Basiony a prominant Egyptian sound and media artist. Ms. Dabizynski has connected with Sarah Rifky who has become a source of information for the west about artists and the conditions in Egypt. Ms Rifky is using two types of social media, Facebook and Twitter to disseminate information. She is also using international phone calls as well.
