The day began at AUC Tahrir where the participants learnt about the history of the institution and the campus site. They took the opportunity to hear from students of the art program as they made their way through the end of year show, including our Ásíkó Cairo assistant Youmna (ask ama to help tidy this bit up). The group was later joined by artist Amado Alfadni who unpacked themes of identity, resistance, and representation within his work.
After lunch the group were hosted by Rana ElNemr, who’s site specific presentation was an intimate look at her practice.
The artists and curators split into focused breakout conversations, deepening their individual and collective inquiries to end the day
