"Artists got ‘Homeland is racist’ Arabic graffiti into the latest episode of ‘Homeland’"

"Three artists say they were hired by a production company in June to paint graffiti as a way to bolster the aesthetic authenticity of the set on the outskirts of Berlin. But rather than scrawl the fake refugee camp with pro-President Bashar al-Assad graffiti, they hatched another plan, Cairo-based artist Heba Amin told The Washington Post: "What if we could use this as an opportunity to be subversive, to make a point with it?"...

"It's very important for us to address the idea that this kind of stereotyping is very dangerous because it helps form people's perceptions of an entire region, a huge region, which in turn affects foreign policy," Amin told The Post. "It was a way to claim back our image."

FB:"Phrases that made it onto the set, according to the artists' photos, include: "Homeland is NOT a series"; "Homeland is watermelon"; and "This show does not represent the views of the artists."

Other slogans contain cultural references, including #BlackLivesMatter, Amin said.
